I am looking for a way to convert this MEL line mel.eval('cameraMakeNode 2 "";') into Python.

I can't find anything in the documentation, is used to convert a camera to camera aim.

  • How is this not Python already? – mkrieger1 Oct 28 '22 at 11:49
  • yes but I was looking for a built in python command for it.. since sometimes I get this error ```# Error: RuntimeError: Error occurred during execution of MEL script``` – user19769290 Oct 28 '22 at 13:44
  • The "cameraMakeNode" is a mel script. You would to have to write a new script which does the same if you need it for python. The script expects either a camera as argument or that you have a camera selected. – haggi krey Oct 28 '22 at 14:35
  • if you type the mel command : whatis, it will print the path of this mel script – DrWeeny Nov 02 '22 at 17:07

I hope this finds you well. Here is the code that worked for me:

import pymel.core as pm
pm.mel.cameraMakeNode(3, "")

Perhaps I'm missing something, but doesn't this work?:

    import maya.mel
    maya.mel.eval("cameraMakeNode 2 '';")
