pymel.core.rendering.track

static rendering.track(*args, **kwargs)

The track command translates a camera horizontally or vertically in the world space. The viewing-direction and up- direction of the camera are not altered. There is no translation in the viewing direction. The track command can be applied to either a perspective or an orthographic camera. When no camera name is supplied, this command is applied to the camera in the active view.

	Set the amount of left translation in unit distance.
right (r)		float
	Set the amount of right translation in unit distance.
upDistance01 (u)		float

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.track

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.camera()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'camera1'), nt.Camera(u'cameraShape1')] #

pm.track( 'cameraShape1', d=10 )# To track the camera down

pm.track( 'cameraShape1', u=-10 )

pm.track( u=-10 )
