Doesn’t ctrl-click work? I haven’t tried with cameras, but it does with most .duf files.

Yes Richard I just used Ctrl-click in DS4.5 the other day which opens a dialogue box with “Add to scene” and Replace etc etc like it does with other aspects

How come this thread shows as having two pages, page one has three posts on it, page two hasthe last two?

EDIT:

Now it has THREE pages, a multiplying thread

I don’t know why the page numbering in this thread is so weird, but my last thread about render scripts does the same thing. I guess I’m just special.

In any case, yes, I know how to use ctrl-click, I’m just trying to find a way to set up a script that the user won’t have to do this with, as many new users don’t know about it. And I think ditching all the cameras in a scene when loading a new camera is a bit weird, to be honest. I can sort of understand this with light sets, but cameras don’t interfere with one another. Set the loaded camera as the active camera, sure, but sometimes there are good reasons to have more than one camera in a scene, especially if some of them have special effects.

I think saving the cameras as a Scene Subset would be the only DUF-based way to do this - a .duf file is data, no logic, so unlike the script-based versions it doesn’t readily admit of hacking.

Developer Discussions wasn’t fixed to show page links, it still shows post links instead - annoying.

Camera Presets was a thing I had never thought about before, and I just tried saving with a Face cam and a few others as a Preset.  It works really well saving multiple cameras, and if you use the same ones over and over, a Camera Preset is a great idea.

I’m glad I saw this thread.
