Disclaimer: this mod has nothing to do with Aperture Science from Portal games. See the article on what is Aperture actually is.

Aperture is a Minecraft mod which allows you to create advanced camera movement (for cinematics or machinimas) using camera editor GUI. It works with Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2 (past versions available for 1.10.2 and 1.11.2).

Features

Aperture mod provides a lot of features for flexible camera editing.

  • Loadable and saveable camera profiles. You don't need to worry about losing your camera setup. With Aperture's camera profiles, you can save your camera setup on the server (if the Aperture is installed on the server) or on the client (in config/aperture/cameras folder).
  • Duration is measured in ticks. A tick is basically an update in game's logic. Minecraft's logic loop running at 20 ticks per second. Why ticks? They're static, while frames depend on framerate, and can be easily converted into seconds (while not depending on real-time).
  • Flexible camera setup with multiple camera fixtures within a camera profile. Other camera mods usually gives you an ability to setup only one path at the time. Aperture allows you to have as much camera paths (and not only) as you need to within same camera profile. There are few types of camera fixtures in Aperture:
    • Idle fixture – holds camera in given position and angle.
    • Circular fixture – circulate around the center point and facing at it.
    • Path fixture – animates the camera through a set of given points using one of the three interpolations: linear, cubic or hermite. Also supports keyframeable velocity control and per point durations.
    • Keyframe fixture – allows you create a flexible camera behavior using keyframes (which can have different interpolations, including bézier, and easing).
    • Null fixture – a placeholder fixture, which mimics next fixture's first position or previous fixture's last position.
    • Manual fixture — allows you to record completely custom movement.
  • More camera flexibility with camera modifiers. Camera modifiers are modular blocks which post-process camera fixture's output. With these modifiers, you can add camera shake, apply math equation, make a GoPro-like behavior, look at some entity while traveling a path, and much more combined. See wiki for more information.
  • Provides a smooth camera as a Minema-friendly alternative of vanilla cinematic camera.
  • Compatible with Minema , if want to record smooth videos on your Potato PC, install Minema mod and record smooth videos!

Its a chicken and egg scenario with Yosemite and Aperture. You just hit the “update” button and finally gave in to installing Mac OS X 10.10, Yosemite on your Mac.

Its only upon completion you realise that the last version of Aperture was 3.4.5 and now it does not work with Yosemite….

Here’s how to make it Yosemite friendly.

What needs to be done is to update Aperture from 3.4.5 to 3.6. Yes, you read right. 3.6.

No, you didn’t miss any updates. It just jumped a few versions ahead to 3.6.

The most common complaint is that Aperture cannot be updated once you’ve installed Yosemite. All you see is the Aperture application icon with a no entry sign painted across it and even if you launch App Store you cannot find Aperture 3.6 update anywhere.

Here’s how to force update Aperture from 3.4.5 that is incompatible with Yosemite to 3.6:

  • Drag the Aperture application into the trash but don’t empty the trash (just in case)
  • Launch App Store and click on the Purchases tab, find the Aperture application in the list (assuming Aperture is a paid app) and click “Install”

  • Upon completion, you should now be the proud owner of Aperture 3.6!! Which is… compatible with Yosemite!!
  • Hold down the Option key and click Aperture to launch it and when prompted select your Aperture library to re-link your existing library to Aperture 3.6
  • When prompted to update the older 3.4.5. Aperture library to 3.6 agree and wait for the update process to complete
