Aim camera in .NET api

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

 

I'm new to Maya software and Maya APIs. I'm creating a plugin to export the scene using .NET API.

 

About camera and aim,

 

In Maya i create a "Camera and Aim" which create a group with a camera and an aim as children.

 

I'm iterating though DAG to retreive the camera (MFnCamera).

 

How do i get the aim/locator a camera is binded to?

 

Alternativelly, i can iterate through DAG filtering kLocator only and then find the one with matching "lookAt" property.

How do i get the value of the property "lookAt" of the camera and the one of the aim?

Seems like there is nothing related to aim/target/controls in the API for class MFnCamera...

 

When i select the camera, there are 3 tabs in the Attribute Editor window on the right side:

- "camera1" related to Transform. I can retreive those values using a MFnTransform function set.

- "cameraShape1" related to Camera. I can retreive those values using a MFnCamera function set.

- "camera1_group" related to link between camera and aim. How to retreive this?

 

Answering anyone of this question would solve my problem.

 

Thanks!
