It not work in 3dsmax2015

3ds Max 2018 - Camera_CreateFromView

pixhellmann · 2018-03-26

Hi Sal,

once I want to set the render cam for a pose, I get following error Message in 3ds Max 2018:
---------------------------
MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception
---------------------------
-- Runtime error: No such macro-script: Camera_CreateFromView
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I think this is because they splittetd the create camera function into two versions for default and physical cam.

I tried creating an own macro script acting as a wrapper. but it's not working..

macroScript Camera_CreateFromView category:"Fix" tooltip:"Camera_CreateFromView"
(
macros.run "Lights and Cameras" "StandardCamera_CreateFromView"
)

Could you please update this? Thanks a lot!

found a workaround

Actually I just found a workaround for Max 2018:

Edit the default macroscript for the cameras:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2018\MacroScripts\Macro_ObjectsCameras.mcr

Scroll down to line 96: Create Camera from view.
Duplicate the macroScript StandardCamera_CreateFromView block.
Rename it to Camera_CreateFromView
Restart max.
The PoseManager now can find it and it works like a charm.

Thanks and happy posing!

Thanks for such a great script.

I wonder if you can add an option to apply the pose to the currently selected controls only instead of all the controls in the pose group, It'll be very helpful.

Also enabling undo function for apply pose operation would be great.

Thanks again :)

is any ...
