Tip of the Week: Camera Bookmarks

Camera Bookmarks are, in my opinion, an underused tool in Maya. They're a quick, automated way of saving camera locations and quickly toggling between them.

Go to View > Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks to open up the Camera Bookmark Editor.


Here you can save and switch between bookmarks. There's also a button to automatically add your bookmarks to the shelf as custom buttons.

If you want to incorporate bookmarks into a MEL script, use the cameraView command. Type "help cameraView" into the script editor for info on the different flags that you can use.
