change Renderable Camera ?

[Nitin Singh]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to change Renderable camera in with Python. I tried all I can but failed finding a command for doing so. Can someone please tell the quick way for doing so.



thanks

When I can't figure these out, I save one version of the file as an ma, then make the change and save a different version as an ma, then diff the files:  This usually exposes the setAttr line that does the change, and you'er good to go.

Hi there,

Look for an attribute on each camera called “renderable” ( I think - not in front of maya atm). 

Like so many things in renderglobals, those controls aren’t doing what you think....

Cheers,

Chrisg

to switch your camera in render setting you need to first turn off other cameras renderable option and then set the same renderable option ON for the camera you want to set in maya render settings window.

# turning off on default maya cameras
cmds.setAttr("frontShape.renderable", False)

cmds.setAttr("perspShape.renderable", False)
cmds.setAttr("sideShape.renderable", False)
cmds.setAttr("topShape.renderable", False)

# turning on the camera which I want to set in maya render settings. You need  camera shape node.

cmds.setAttr('light_cameraShape.renderable', True)
