pymel.core.nodetypes.CameraSet

class CameraSet(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function cameraSet

This command manages camera set nodes. Camera sets allow the users to break a single camera shot into layers. Instead of drawing all objects with a single camera, you can isolate the camera to only focus on certain objects and layer another camera into the viewport that draws the other objects. The situation to use camera sets primarily occurs when building stereoscopic scenes. For example, a set of stereo parameters may make the background objects divergent beyond the tolerable range of the human perceptual system. However, you like the settings because the main focus is in the foreground and the depth is important to the visual look of the scene. You can use camera sets to break apart the shot into a foreground stereo camera and background stereo camera. The foreground stereo camera will retain the original parameters; however, it will only focus on the foreground elements. The background stereo camera will have a different set of stereo parameters and will only draw the background element.

appendTo(val=True, **kwargs)

Append a new camera and/or object set to then end of the cameraSet layer list. This flag cannot be used in conjunction with insert flag. Additionally, it requires the camera and/or objectSet flag to be used.

deleteAll(val=True, **kwargs)

Delete all camera layers

getActive(**kwargs)

Gets / sets the active camera layer.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.cameraSet

getCamera(**kwargs)

Set/get the camera for a particular layer. When in query mode, You must specify the layer with the layer flag.

getClearDepth(**kwargs)

Specifies if the drawing buffer should be cleared before beginning the draw for that layer. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
