To Camera Interest (Expression Function Reference)

The Function Distance to Camera Interest command in the expression editor inserts the token ctr_dist_cam_int(<elem1>) at the insertion point in the editing pane. This token returns the distance between the center of an object and the interest of the output. Replace the dummy argument <elem1> with an object name.

NoteObject names must end in a period.

NoteYou may need to change frames to update the scene if you move the camera interest interactively.

NoteThis token works only with the interest of the output camera. If you have changed the output camera from the default, you may need to force a refresh to see an update; e.g., by changing frames. You can also use To Camera (Expression Function Reference) with the explicit camera name.

Example

ctr_dist_cam_int(cone.)

Returns the distance between cone and the default camera interest.
