Why we like it

Multi Camera Setup Addon earns its place in the superhive library as a focused utility for anyone juggling several cameras and their background images. The per-camera background handling and fbx direction fix make it a practical pick for photogrammetry work, and it carries a GPL license.

What is Multi Camera Setup Addon?

Multi Camera Setup Addon, also called MCS, is a Blender addon built to simplify setting up camera background images and switching between multiple cameras in a scene. It comes from developer Roy and is aimed at photogrammetry scenes, where setting up every camera can take a lot of time. With MCS in place, that setup and switching are quicker and easier.

The addon lets you create an MCS list of the cameras in your scene, then set up or change the background image for each one in seconds. Switching between scene cameras or selecting the ones you need is handled through the same list. It also includes a fix for an fbx camera import issue that produces the wrong camera direction.

Version 0.0.4 added support for Blender 4.1 and later versions, along with file extension support. The addon is released under the GPL license, and a demo video is available.

Who is Multi Camera Setup Addon best for?

Multi Camera Setup Addon is best for blender users managing multiple cameras and their background images, particularly in photogrammetry scenes where per-camera setup is time-consuming.
