Garry's Mod VRMod Streaming Camera

A 3rd-person camera for capturing and streaming content in Garry's Mod while using VRMod. NOTE: this add-on requires VRMod, it is not a standalone (yet)!

When you launch VRMod, this camera will automatically spawn with your configured settings by default. This behavior can be stopped by setting vrmod_camera_autostart to 0. To bring up the menu and configure these settings manually, type vrmod_camera_menu into the console. It doesn't really matter if you're in VRMod or not while using the menu. Pressing the "Start" button will spawn a camera, while the "Remove" button will remove the selected camera. You may spawn as many cameras as you please!

For the vrmod_camera_menu command:

"Start" button will spawn the camera with the configured settings (or update the existing camera)
"Remove" button will stop displaying your camera
"Autospawn" will stop spawning the camera by default

For the toolgun:

Left-click: Spawn or move the camera
Right-click: Erase the camera

The toolgun is probably broken, just use the menu unless you care to fix it :)

3rd person and static cameras are supported at the moment; first-person smoothing is planned.

You can also use these console commands to control the camera:

vrmod_camera_mode
    - 1 = Static
    - 2 = Smoothed third-person
    - 3 = Smoothed first-person (not implemented yet :D)

vrmod_camera_smoothing
    - Lower values make the camerawork more responsive (but more "rough" too)

vrmod_camera_stabilize
    - Camera yaw is always zero

vrmod_camera_flydist
    - 1 = Near
    - 2 = Middle
    - 3 = Far

vrmod_camera_autospawn
    - Whether to spawn the camera when you launch VRMod or not

vrmod_camera_draw
    - Whether to draw the camera model or not in the real world

vrmod_camera_switch <id>
    - Switch to a given camera whose ID is <id>
    - You can use this to change cameras easily if you bind this command!

.. usually the defaults are pretty good IMO!

Examples

I have used this camera several times to stream gameplay using OBS to Twitch. When I can be bothered to cut some example footage for this repository I will upload it somewhere :)
