This is a proof of concept video demonstrating the use of multiple spectator cameras.

 

Note: I would strongly recommend you queue up some music and watch this video without sound unless you want to listen to the fan in my room and me occasionally talking to a teamspeak channel you can't hear. Oops.

 

The production quality of the video itself is pretty low, but I've left it raw so it's more clear what is going on in OBS and on my computer.

 

Spoiler

 

Notes:

  • Audio from unselected Hawken windows in muted.
  • Infinite Hawken windows can run simultaneously on a computer, but they all have the same name. This confuses OBS and makes it difficult to impossible to record all the windows with game or window capture. I had to use sectioned monitor capture to make this work.
  • Controlling multiple cameras from one KB/M is a bit difficult even in test arena. This will be hard to pull off in a full 6v6 match.
  • Set up scenes ahead of time. This is pretty much necessary. Hotkeys are ideal.
  • Hawken fonts are Kremlin and AgencyFB-bold

This is great. Please do it in TPG matches if you can and publish it for the people!

I vastly prefer the diagonal split, as opposed to the picture-in-picture, possibly because I have always despised that composition. It also looks more dynamic, avoiding the "afterthought" the bottom left view seems to have. Slap a background picture in to cover up the black and you have what could very well be a new standard of casting.

My original intention was for the small picture to be a static overview of a map, with the large one either chase or free cam. This would be better suited for full sized matches, while the diagonal split would work better for duels IMO.

 

I'm worried that the small picture might be too small to function as an overview camera. I don't know if you'd be able to see enough.

I don't think it would. You can't light up silhouettes sufficiently to distinguish them clearly on Bunker, let along larger maps. 

 

Unless you can find a way to stick a minimap in there, your best bet I think would be following one team each, and trading perspectives advantageously.

Good point. I may end up flipping between two full screen static cameras and adjusting the one that isn't shown.
