animate camera along scene cams

[themaxxer]

hello all

I want to calculate the LC for the whole scene, but that does only work if I have an animated cam in the scene, doesen't it? I have 12 cams in the scene and there is a script to make an animated cam along the scene cams. unfortunately it doesen't work in max 9.

is there another quick way to create an animated cam to calculate the LC in flytrough mode? I don't want to animate one manually.

12 cameras? doesnt sound too hard to animate manually. create Cam_Animate then goto cam1 switch view to perspective and swlect Cam_Animate and hit ctrl-c then with autokey on you do it for all the cameras.....hmmm. yeah. does sound like a bother

thanks Da_elf

I did manually.
I've created a cam and animated it with the align tool. was very easy.

...this is the script I meant, but it doesn't work in max9.
or am I doing something wrong?
is it compatible with vray cams?

Works here with Max 9 32, it needs to be ran from the utilities menu.

Does not work with V-Ray cams, I was thinking about looking at how hard it would be to make it work this evening.

here's the changed code to have it work with physcams.
Notice it will create a standard max camera, but it SHOULD work with a mix of standard and physical cameras as source.
Use my other utility to parent a physcam (and inherit FoV animation) to the new max camera this script creates.
