Camera Point of Interest?

[byronnash]

How do you access the camera point of interest? I can't find anything about it in the Scripting Guide at all. I need to add an expression to the interest with a script. Ideas, workarounds?

As far as I know, you can't!

I wrote a 3dsMax scene importer, I had to make text layer tell the user to turn off the Auto-Orient for free cams.

Maybe being up in the Layer>Transforms menu has something to do with it.

That's ridiculous that you can't get to it in scripting. I will have to find a way around it somehow.

Post if you do! I'd love to know how.

Thnx

It's not listed in the PropertyGroup property() method section of the doc, but both of the following seem to work for me:
var poi = camLayer.property("Point of Interest");
or:
var poi = camLayer.pointOfInterest;

Oops, ur right. But I still wish I knew how to disable Auto-Orient.
