hi,

Is it possible to find the active camera in coffee or xpresso ?

i'd like to make a coffee or xpresso tag to set the visible_in_render button
according to the active camera.

-> a lot of possibilities !!!

if for example i have 5 cameras in an architectural scene
i could have 5 lightning sets which automatically switch on/off when i change the camera!
the same for compostiting backgrounds (like sky on a plane) or object groups which are not visible and mustnt slow down the renderer.
etx

Hi Zeorge,

In COFFEE, you can use:

  
var cam = doc->GetRenderBaseDraw()#BASEDRAW_DATA_CAMERA;

I'm not sure if there's a way to do it in Xpresso, other than a COFFEE node with the code above.

HTH
