Blender Add-On: Camera Angle Straightener & Automatic Camera Tab Toogle
Description:
This tool improves camera workflows by offering two smart features:
-
Straighten Camera Angles: Rounds the camera’s rotation to the nearest 90 degrees on all axes, ensuring clean, perspective correct, and orthographic-friendly views.
-
Auto-Switch to Camera Tab: When selecting a camera, the Properties editor automatically switches to the Camera tab, saving clicks and streamlining adjustments.
Button Placement:
-
Accessible via the Object Context Menu (right-click in 3D Viewport) when a camera is selected.
-
Button appears as “Straighten Camera Angle”.
Working Principle:
-
Detects when a new object becomes active and, if it’s a camera, switches the UI tab to “Camera.”
-
The straighten operator uses rounding logic on the camera’s Euler rotation to snap to clean 90° increments.
