This minor update is of Create Camera from Selected View

Insert the line below in your buildPanelPopupMenu.mel which is located 

at this location: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MayaXXXX\scripts\others     [where XXXX is replaced by version of maya] 

Look for the code below in the file buildPanelPopupMenu.mel  [line number 312]

$menu = `menuItem -label (uiRes("m_buildPanelPopupMenu.kOrthographic")) -subMenu true`;
    menuItem -e -postMenuCommand
           ("buildOrthoLookthruMenu "+$menu+" "+$panelName) $menu;
    setParent -m ..;

after the above code insert this code at line number 315(incase of Maya 2013)
$menu = `menuItem -l "Create Camera from Selected View" -c "selViewCamera()" -subMenu false`;

adding the above code will give you a menu item to perform the operation 

Here we go another one for the day, Updated another mel script that creates a new camera from selected camera view.

I created the first version too when I was studying at Visual Effects at Vanarts in Vancouver, I received  good review of this script,thanks to Highend3d(Now Creative Heads) that I kept on getting update and reviews.

The idea of writing this tool came since I was a 3dsmax user before and kinda missed this functionality  of creating new camera from selected view,This is feature already exist in 3DS max.

[Create> Camera > from Selected View ]The script can be used in combination with ALT or CTRL or CTRL + SHIFT too,  All values of existing view camera are copied to new camera and the old camera moves back to show new camera.

So I wrote this script, today I am releasing updated version with a new feature added.

Download Version 1.1.0

if pressed alt , the new camera is Frame to Selected modal panel,
if pressed Ctrl, the you see through newly created camera
if pressed Ctrl+Alt you see through newly created camera & Attribute additor is displayed (only choose this option Attribute Editor is not open or else script will hide it.)

Please write your comments and provide any suggestion, I would love to hear from you.

Time back in year 2008 when I was studying at Vanarts in Vancouver,
I discovered how important it is to set the project before you start to model or texture or render. Because if you don't set the project the chances are you might end up saving your scene file in some other project folder or end up save texture files to some other project's texture folder and like wise you might end up rendering your 3D renders from Maya to some other project folder.

So I wrote a tiny MEL script that sets the project by itself as soon as scene file is opened.

Since I had uploaded it then highend3d now called Creative Crash people had been using it, time passed by and today when Autodesk came up with Maya 2013 they made few changes and then I had to update the MEL script to so after a long time yesterday I fixed old MEL script to work with latest Autodesk Maya 2013 and it also has backward compatibility.

So check out release version, beside just in English I have implemented in French and Spanish language.

If you already have usersetup.mel in scripts folder, Do not overwrite. If you overwrite you can loose some other scripts functionality. So in such a case open the userSetup.mel you have downloaded and copy the contents and paste at the bottom of your existing userSetup.mel of your scripts folder.
Save. it.

You might need to restart maya if Its already running in order to reload the userSetup.mel module.

Once you have it installed you will see a headsup message when you launch maya , ignore it since it is that script check before set project if scene is saved or is untitled.

Leave your Comments and suggestions or if you find any bug.I would love to hear from you.
