Properties

There are no additional properties for FreeCamera.

See Camera Common Properties, Operators, and Methods for common properties of all cameras.

NOTE:

In 3ds Max, all node-level properties are searched before base-object-level properties. If a base-object property has the same name as a node-level property, you need to search in the base object for the base object property.

This affects the following properties of freeCamera:

    

<freeCamera>.baseObject.	 targetDistance

Get/Set the target distance of the Free Camera.

Every node in 3ds Max has a node property .targetDistance which contains the distance to an eventual target the node is looking at using a LookAt controller. (you can assign a node to the .lookAt property and the controller will be assigned automatically).

Thus, a Free Camera has such a node property but it is set to undefined, and a baseobject property with the same name which contains the actual target distance value shown in the User Interface. If the Free Camera gets converted to a Target camera, the node-level property will be displayed in the User Interface and should be accessed via MAXScript.
