I found that the float default value of the target distance is different between standard camera and physical camera.

Therefore, when I use this script, and I found that the new target could not match the old target's position.
However, I do not have any idea of how to convert the difference between the float default values to the same.
And then, I did something different.
I did a little changes based on the upgraded version which written by jbaptiste.
I did not use "target.distance", I changed it to "target.transform".
It seems that it works.
I paste the script here...
old_cameras = $Camera* as array --No Vray convertion neded
old_cameras = (for o in old_cameras where classof o == Targetcamera or classof o == Freecamera collect o)
if selection.count==1 then
(
if classof (selection[1]) == Targetcamera do
(
old_cameras = #((selection[1]))
)
)else()
for old_cam in old_cameras do
(
new_camera = Physical_Camera()
new_camera.transform = old_cam.transform
new_camera.specify_fov = true
new_camera.name = "(phy)" + old_cam.name
if old_cam.type == #free then (
new_camera.targeted = false
) else (
new_camera.targeted = true
new_camera.target.transform = old_cam.target.transform
)
for prop_name in getPropNames old_cam do
(
if hasProperty new_camera prop_name then (
prop_value = getProperty old_cam prop_name
setProperty new_camera prop_name prop_value
)
)
)
By the way, I test it in 3ds max 2017.
Thanks for the effort jens.diemer and jbaptiste made. Nice script.
