Furthermore, you can control the whole setup with a PS4 controller (but only if your setup is hooked up to the Dragonframe software).

This is super helpful, because fiddling a camera into position by clicking some buttons in a user interface is somehow annoying (had that before, it really sucks). Most importantly, you are able to move the camera by hand while the software tracks the exact position of each axis. This setup is pretty neat, as it lets you control your camera in a number of ways. Add a SliderPLUS with Slide Module v2 and a focus motor for a full 4-axis motion control system. You now can control your HeadPLUS from within Dragonframe. For this, you don’t have to buy one of the DMC boxes, only a relatively cheap controller called stop motion module. Their popular HeadPLUS series of 2-axis motion control heads offers full integration into Dragonframe. These boxes are highly advanced controller boards for multiple stepper motor drives, DMX control for lighting and camera triggers.Īnother door into the motion control world of Dragonframe has just been opened by Edelkrone. However, in order to integrate such hardware into Dragonframe, a rather expensive Dragonframe Master Controller (DMC-16 or DMC+) box is necessary. You can easily jump between frames, line up objects with half-translucent overlays of previous frames, keyframe lights, sync audio to your character’s mouth movements and manage huge amounts of captured stills, while always staying on top of things – try that without such a piece of software! With the so-called Arc motion control workspace within Dragonframe, you can control third-party hardware in order to pull of stunning moco shots of your animations. With it, everything regarding stop motion becomes less fiddly and more creative, because the software takes care about almost everything. Heads up, stop motion fans! Edelkrone has just released a new stop motion module, which seamlessly connects its HeadPLUS series with the industry-leading Dragonframe stop motion software.ĭragonframe is the de-facto standard if you are into fully-fledged stop motion projects.
