CAMERA MANAGER – OVERVIEW

Camera Manager allows you to manage cameras in Maya without clutter.

THE PROBLEM

It’s difficult to find and set camera settings in the Attribute Editor.

Maya’s cameras don’t fit into the viewport intuitively, making playblasts difficult.

Managing and setting multiple cameras is time-consuming.

There is a lack of good film-back presets for matching real-world cameras.

It’s difficult to fit image planes to your match the scene resolution.

You cannot set the scene resolution without opening other UIs.
