Discover New Debug Camera Tools for Server Admins and Content Creators

As a Rust server owner or content creator, you’ll be excited to learn about the latest debug camera additions introduced by Facepunch in July 2022. These new commands, specifically designed for server admins and demo playback, enable you to create even more immersive and realistic content with physical camera properties.

Physical Camera Properties

By utilizing physical camera properties, you can mimic real-world photography measurements through the selection of common camera sensor types and specifying a focal length. The following commands have been added for using physical camera settings:

• client.camphysical (1/0): Enable or disable physical camera properties on the debug camera
• client.camphysicalsensortypes: Prints camera sensor types with corresponding numbers
• client.camphysicalsensor: Select the physical sensor for the debug camera (use the sensor ID number from the ‘sensortypes’ convar)
• client.camphysicalfocallength: Set the focal length of the debug camera (measured in mm)

Camera Info UI

To further enhance your Rust content creation experience, Facepunch has added a camera information UI that can be enabled or disabled using the command client.showcaminfo 1/0.

When enabled, this overlay displays the following information at the top of the screen:

• Camera FOV
• Depth of field aperture and blur values
• Camera lock status (debugcamera_lock)
• Sensor type (if using physical camera mode)
• Focal length (if using physical camera mode)
