exporting camera position from maya

#1

Can someone help me in exporting camera positions from Maya? I want to export a sequence of camera positions in any readable format.

Thanx

well the easiest thing would be to export it using MEL and the file I/O commands through a frame iterator script. You could also use the API for this, for example, the ribExport.cpp file in the devkit shows you how to export camera information into RIB (+ a lot of other things).

you could also use a file format and simply export a scene with only its camera.

There is a plugin to export .anim files from Maya. Thisis probably this easiest way - it gives you a human readable file with animation information in it.
