Python Camera Roto Tab

Recommended Posts

is there a way to create a camera in python and then turn on it's roto tab?

I'm not 100% sure, but you might try

obj = hou.node('/obj')
cam = obj.createNode('cam')
hou.hscript('opproperty %s viewport viewport_roto')

might do the trick. I cheat though and use the hscript opproperty command.

He probably meant to finish the code properly like this:

obj = hou.node('/obj')
cam = obj.createNode('cam')
hou.hscript('opproperty %s viewport viewport_roto'%cam.path())
