Dolly Zoom Tool

Description
NOTE: If you're looking for a more flexible camera tool, try Advanced Camera. Although it doesn't have a dolly zoom/automatic FOV adjustment it should do well for static camera placements.

I created a camera capable of reproducing the famous Dolly Zoom effect popularized by movies such as Jaws (1975) and Vertigo (1958). The apparent focal width can be tweaked via the Context Menu or the tool's control panel. The addon is also available on GitHub.[github.com]

Sorry for not including much of a tutorial, I threw this together in one morning. You've got to right click with the tool on what you want it to focus on and find some method of moving the camera. What I did was I made a cart on wheels and I attached the camera to it. I'm sure there are other addons out there, too, for making this happen.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Saved games aren't something I've used since Garry's Mod 11.

Cool addon, but it has a major problem.

It brakes every normal cameras that were placed in saved scenes upon loading them up. It makes them unusable, which is a deal breaker for me.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life. TIC TO

I'm not updating it anymore and I don't exactly want it to be representative of my skills.
