New Native Redshift camera via Python
-
Hi there,
my matchmoving software is using python scripting to export the camera data to C4D.
This works great but the script is not able to create a Native Reshift camera even though the scene is configured to use the new camera as default.Having a look at the Python API I was not able to find a specific command to set the c4d.CameraObject() to use the newer Redshift Camera Object.
So my question is this: What is the correct way to create a Native Redshift Camera via Python script ?
Attached is an example script from my matchmove software ( ignore the missing Footage). Just execute the script in an empty scene and it should create the trackers, the camera and a camera screen.
Any help is appreciated.

- Support Procedures: Scope of Support: Lines out the things we will do and what we will not do.
- Support Procedures: Confidential Data: Most questions should be accompanied by code but code cannot always be shared publicly. This section explains how to share code confidentially with Maxon.
- Forum Structure and Features: Lines out how the forum works.
- Structure of a Question: Lines out how to ask a good technical question. It is not mandatory to follow this exactly, but you should follow the idea of keeping things short and mentioning your primary question in a clear manner.
About your First Question
CameraObjectis the type for the standard camera. The RS Camera must be instantiated withc4d.BaseObject(c4d.Orscamera). We have this C++ Manual but I never got to translating it for Python. But it might be helpful anyways.Cheers,
