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.

Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
down (d) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of down translation in unit distance. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
left (l) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of left translation in unit distance.
right (r) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of right translation in unit distance.
upDistance01 (u) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of up translation in unit distance. This is equivalent to using up/upDistance02 flag.

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', u=-10 )

pm.track( u=-10 )
