ComfyUI Node: CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie

CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie:

The CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie node is designed to generate a camera trajectory based on a given camera pose and intrinsic camera parameters. This node is particularly useful for creating smooth and controlled camera movements in animations or simulations, allowing you to define how the camera should move through a scene. By leveraging the camera pose data, it constructs a trajectory that can be used to render a sequence of frames, effectively creating a video. This node is a part of the CameraCtrl category, which focuses on camera control and manipulation, providing a powerful tool for AI artists to enhance their visual storytelling by simulating realistic camera movements.

CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie Input Parameters:

camera_pose

The camera_pose parameter is a required input that specifies the initial position and orientation of the camera. It is expected to be of type CameraPose, which contains the necessary data to define the camera's starting point in the scene. This parameter is crucial as it serves as the foundation for generating the camera trajectory.

fx

The fx parameter represents the focal length of the camera in the x-direction, expressed as a float. It influences the field of view and perspective of the camera. The default value is 0.474812461, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 1. Adjusting this value can affect how wide or narrow the camera's view appears.

fy

The fy parameter is similar to fx but applies to the y-direction. It also affects the camera's field of view and perspective. The default value is 0.844111024, with a range from 0 to 1. Modifying this parameter can change the vertical perspective of the camera.

cx

The cx parameter defines the x-coordinate of the principal point of the camera, which is the point where the optical axis intersects the image plane. It is a float with a default value of 0.5, and it can range from 0 to 1. This parameter can be used to adjust the horizontal alignment of the camera's view.

cy

The cy parameter specifies the y-coordinate of the principal point, similar to cx but for the vertical axis. It has a default value of 0.5 and ranges from 0 to 1. Adjusting this parameter can help center the camera's view vertically.

CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie Output Parameters:

camera_trajectory

The camera_trajectory output is a string that contains the serialized data of the generated camera trajectory. This data can be used to render a sequence of frames, creating a video that follows the defined camera path. It is essential for visualizing the camera movement in a scene.

video_length

The video_length output is an integer that indicates the number of frames in the generated camera trajectory. This value is important for understanding the duration of the video and ensuring that the camera movement is synchronized with the intended animation or simulation.

CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie Usage Tips:

• To achieve a smooth camera movement, ensure that the camera_pose input is well-defined and accurately represents the desired starting position and orientation of the camera.
• Experiment with the fx and fy parameters to adjust the camera's field of view and perspective, which can significantly impact the visual style of your animation.

CameraTrajectoryFromChaoJie Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid camera_pose input

• Explanation: The camera_pose input is not of the expected type CameraPose.
• Solution: Ensure that the camera_pose input is correctly formatted and of the type CameraPose.

fx or fy out of range

• Explanation: The fx or fy parameter is set outside the allowed range of 0 to 1.
• Solution: Adjust the fx and fy values to be within the specified range to avoid errors in camera trajectory generation.
