Select Objects within Camera Frustum

[Jeremy YeoKhoo]

Hi guys,

I am trying to write a simple tool that selects the objects within the cameras frustum. I am pretty sure the tool can be written as a one off python command. But my lack of experience with the maya API is taking me a while to create one.

Would anyone have any experience is creating/building one?

Hi Sudeepth,

Thanks for that, but thats not exactly what I am looking for. Ill need to be able to use this sccript via a batch command.


There is a C++ version of this that will allow the DAG nodes that get selected which I am going to try to convert to python

Dear Jeremy,

I hope this code may help you.

import maya.OpenMaya as om
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui

activeView = mui.M3dView.active3dView()

om.MGlobal.selectFromScreen(0,0,activeView.portWidth(),activeView.portHeight(),om.MGlobal.kReplaceList)

it selects all the objects in the active view.

Thank and Regards,
