Hi,

I need to obtain the field of view of the current camera inside an XPRESSO-network. At the moment I use a coffee-node to get the current camera using the following code:

> var activeCam = doc->GetActiveBaseDraw()#BASEDRAW_DATA_CAMERA;

But how do I obtain the field of view of that camera? I didn't find anything on that in the SDK (HTML, the winhelp-version seems to be broken, I downloaded it, but all pages seem to miss content). Apparently there are no special classes for different types of objects in COFFEE and I can only use the methods of BaseObject ?! Is there some container ID I missed? Unfortunatly I didn't find a complete list of IDs in the HTML SDK. The BASEDRAW_DATA_CAMERA I only found in an example in the forum, but not in the SDK.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

I maybe wrong, but you should check the c4d_basedraw.h.
This line could be helpful:
> void GetViewParameter(Vector \*offset, Vector \*scale, Vector \*scale_z);

You can use the operator direct after getting the active camera:

> \> var activeCam = doc->GetActiveBaseDraw()#BASEDRAW_DATA_CAMERA; \> var fov = activeCam#CAMERAOBJECT_FOV; \> println(fov);// Radians \> println(Degree(fov));// Degrees \>

To find/get the correct type for a parameter, you can drag it from
the Objects AM into for example a script editor window.
