stereoCameraView is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This is the main command for creating stereo editors. This commands
only acts as an interface to the actual viewport. It is derived off of
MPxModelEditorCommand. This command manages the set of stereo rig
tools.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

|
|
| Common model editor flags |
-exists(-ex)

|
|
Sets the maximum constant transparency. Setting this value remaps
constant transparency values from the range [0.0, 1.0] to the range
[0.0, maxConstantTransparency]. All transparency values are shifted
linearly to the new range, so a fully transparency object
(transparency 1.0) would
appear with a transparency of maxConstantTransparency in the viewport,
allowing highly transparent objects to be made visible. This flag only
affects constant (non-textured) transparent objects.

|
|
-textureMaxSize(-tms)
|
int
|
|
|
Set maximum texture size for hardware texturing. The integer
value must be a power of 2. Recommended values are 128 or 256. If
the value specified is larger than the OpenGL maximim textures size
for the graphics hardware it will be clamped to the OpenGL size. If
many large textures are used in a scene reducing this value improves
performance. On Impact texture memory is pinned in RAM so using
large textures can cause reliability and performance problems. Again
reducing this value will help. Software rendering does not use this
value.
This flag is obsolete as of Maya 6.5. The maxTextureResolution/mtr
argument on the displayPref command should be used instead.
|
