# VIEWPOINTS

A simple Blender addon that lets the user select cameras in the scene and instantly render a still image.

### Usage

Access the addon's panel:

1. Open a 3D Viewport in Blender.
2. In the 3D Viewport, locate the Tool Shelf on the right side.
3. Look for the "CY-Tools" tab and click it to reveal the addon panel.

To add a camera to the list, click the "+" button on the right side of the camera list. A new entry will be created in the list.

Click on the new entry to reveal a dropdown menu of available cameras in your scene. Select the desired camera from the list.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add more cameras to the list as needed.

If you need to remove a camera from the list, select the camera entry in the list and click the "-" button on the right side of the camera list.

To render the selected viewpoints, click the "Render Viewpoints" button at the bottom of the panel.

The add-on will render each camera viewpoint individually and save the output images as PNG files in a folder named "Blender Viewpoints Exports" on your Desktop. The images will be named according to their corresponding camera names in the Blender scene.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cytools.cjkproduction.com/viewpoints.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
