Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

modelEditor problem
However, as I was recently writing a new script to control a Z depth renderer using circles for the near and far depths, I found that my film offset script doesn't work if you have any objects linked to the camera. In the words of Pink Floyd... "This will not do, call the court marshall!"
The problem seems to be that when the camera has objects attached to it, my script returns the Shape name rather than the object name. I even noticed that in Maya (v5 by the way) under the Panels>Perspective drop down menu, it lists the camera differently if there are objects attached to it.
If you want to look at my files, try running the filmOffset5 script on camera1, and then on camera2. (Click on the view to make it active, you do not need to select the camera). If you check the script editor, you can see some info I'm printing out. Lines C & D should both be the camera names, whereas line E should be the shape name.
It seems that I've stumbled onto a Maya bug that I cannot figure out a work-around for. Any thoghts? I know this is very long winded, so thank you for your patience.
Eternally grateful,
