(fixed) [HOU-1999] camera in HDA not working a representative node

[LeoYfver]

Path to an HDA with representative node which is a camera works in the viewport and mantra but not vray.

It for pipe reasons were the camera node is inside an HDA

You should point the camera, not the HDA.

But when you have the camera in representative mode as in the image above it should work the same, you should be able to link to the hda instead. If you check the scene i sent, it works in mantra doing that and in the viewport but not in vray rop.

Is this possible to fix, would help out in a camera setup we have.

What if there are two cameras in the HDA? May be it is possible to use first found camera, but I will talk with devs.

in the type properties of the HDA the representative node can be set. If that is set to a camera thats the camera the HDA should behave like. so its which camera you set there.

here is an example where the setting is

I've added support for that for this particular setup.
Is this approach used for smth else? Should I add support for this in general, like for geometry?

For us it is a bit specific so just this case is fine for us, thanks !
