pymel.core.rendering.track

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.

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

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

pm.track( u=-10 )
