extract_camera_mayaScene

Extract camera as Maya Scene.

ExtractCameraMayaScene

Bases: MayaExtractorPlugin, OptionalPyblishPluginMixin

Extract a Camera as Maya Scene.

This will create a duplicate of the camera that will be baked with substeps and handles for the required frames. This temporary duplicate will be published.

The cameras gets baked to world space by default. Only when the instance's bakeToWorldSpace is set to False it will include its full hierarchy.

'camera' product type expects only single camera, if multiple cameras are needed, 'matchmove' is better choice.

Note

The extracted Maya ascii file gets "massaged" removing the uuid values so they are valid for older versions of Fusion (e.g. 6.4)
