This reference page is linked to from the following overview topics: List of Python Fbx classes.

Detailed Description

This class contains the global camera settings.

Remarks:: This class exists for FBX version 6.x and earlier. The new FBX v7.x file format that is now the default no longer uses it. The relevant data (a subset of this class) has been moved to the FbxGlobalSettings object and should be used instead.

Examples:: ViewScene/SetCamera.cxx.

Member Function Documentation

bool SetDefaultCamera ( char * pCameraName )

Search for all occurrences

Sets the default camera.

Parameters:

pCameraName Name of the default camera.

Returns:: True if camera name is valid, returns false if it is not valid.

Remarks:: A valid camera name must be either one of the defined tokens (PRODUCER_PERSPECTIVE, PRODUCER_TOP, PRODUCER_BOTTOM, PRODUCER_FRONT, PRODUCER_BACK, PRODUCER_RIGHT, PRODUCER_LEFT and CAMERA_SWITCHER) or the name of a camera that is inserted in the node tree under the scene's root node.

char* GetDefaultCamera ( ) const

Search for all occurrences

Returns the default camera name.

Returns:: The default camera name, or returns an empty string if no camera name has been specified.

void RestoreDefaultSettings ( )

Search for all occurrences

Restores the default settings.

void SetDefaultViewingMode ( EViewingMode pViewingMode )

Search for all occurrences

Sets the default viewing mode.

Parameters:

pViewingMode Viewing mode to set(eStandard, eXRay or eModelsOnly).

EViewingMode GetDefaultViewingMode ( ) const

Search for all occurrences

Returns the default viewing mode.

Returns:: The currently set Viewing mode.

void CreateProducerCameras ( )

Search for all occurrences

Creates the default Producer cameras.

Examples:: ViewScene/SetCamera.cxx.

void DestroyProducerCameras ( )

Search for all occurrences

Destroys the default Producer cameras.

bool IsProducerCamera ( FbxCamera * pCamera ) const

Search for all occurrences

Checks if the camera is a Producer camera.

Parameters:

pCamera The camera to check.

Returns:: True if it is a producer camera, returns false if it is not a producer camera.

FbxCameraSwitcher* GetCameraSwitcher ( ) const

Search for all occurrences

Returns the Camera Switcher.

Returns:: A pointer to the Camera Switcher.

Remarks:: This node has a FbxNodeAttribute::eCameraSwitcher node attribute type. This node is not saved when there is no camera in the scene. Nodes inserted below are never saved. Camera indices start at 1. Out of range indices are clamped between 1 and the number of cameras in the scene. The index of a camera refers to its order of appearance when searching the node tree depth first. If a camera is added or removed after camera indices have been set, the camera indices must be updated. It is easier to set camera indices once every camera have been set. Camera index keys must be set using constant interpolation to ensure that camera switches occur exactly at key time.
