Script to create VRayPhysicalCamera in 2016 (that isn't pointing down from origin) ?

[JezUK]

I'd like to create a toolbar button which in 3ds Max 2016 will create a VRayPhysicalCamera.

I know the command is vraycreateVrayPhysicalCamera(), but this creates it at world origin 0,0,0 and pointing down.

I don't know enough about scripting - please can someone tell me the syntax to create a camera at any camera position and target position I prefer ?

e.g. Camera to be a x=0, y=-5000, z=1500 & Target to be at x=0, y=0, z=1500.

Many thanks.

Create the camera, while it is selected press Ctrl+C. Moves it into position of the current view. I admit I have not tried this with 2016 yet!

How to create a target at the same time by a vraycreateVrayPhysicalCamera() command?
Someone known?

Hi,

cam = vrayCreateVrayPhysicalCamera()
cam.targeted = true
cam.pos = [0,-5000,1500]
cam.target.pos = [0,0,1500]

Thank you!

Your code is helpful.

I made it simply.
If a code is set to listeners, PhysiCam with a target will be created along with the Z-axis of the selected view.

cam = vrayCreateVrayPhysicalCamera() cam.targeted = true;
