Embed a Camera object in a digital asset?

[Kino]

Hey everyone, Sorry I've been bombarding the forums with questions in the past days.

I want to know if it's possible for a digital asset to have a camera embedded in itself? I'm attaching an example file, it doesn't work in this scenario, I wanted to know if anyone has ever done this and what's the right way to do this. Basically I want to have a "object network" in my subnet and inside that I want to have a camera that has some specific properties, My problem is that first of all I can not switch to my camera in my viewport and what is worse is than when I render with that camera I get nothing.

Thanks

maybe just don't have it in another object network

keep it in the subnet, then follow this:

yeah also tried this in the past, it doesn't seem to work when you put it in an "object network"  manager (at least when I did)

 

you can do it when you create the otl as a subnet at object level though.

Thanks anim, but isn't what you suggested only applicable to an Object level subnet/asset and not a SOP level? I'd really rather have my asset in SOPs so it can easily be manipulated through the chain.

Yeah, I guess I have to choose between an Object level asset or a SOP level one without a camera in the end
