How to place camera matrix info in the Maya scene .ma file

Anonymous

We have a complex maya scene file with camera information so that we can take a look what is inside the ma file and where to put the camera matrix. 

Will you tell us where to put our camera matrix in the ma file?

 

This is what I know thus far and it is too general. we are stuck 

If you open .ma file, you could find mel commands like createNode transform/camera and setAttr below. This is how camera set up in Maya. Because they are all mel commands, you could read and modify it easily.

 

1) Anyone here have any direct experience with this task and shed some lights on this matter?
2) If we have a SIMPLE maya scene sample, the task will be easier. Can someone share one vidalign@gmail.com? We have attached a screenshot of our footage. We are looking for something simple like this.
 
Thank you in advance.

Hi!

 

1. Without Maya and the possibility to create files you can't develop anything for Maya.

So if you need a simple scene, create it on your own.

 

2. What do you mean with "How to place"?

Do you want to modify or create .ma files outside of Maya?

This can be done, but requires deeper knowledge of Maya and of course a Maya Version for development and tests.

 

 

Please read the Maya Online Help / Documentation for more details.

Technical Documentation -> Nodes (search for camera)
