Hi all,
I have written a simple script to create a camera and look through the camera
but i have someproblem in setting the camera to look at the viewport

here is what i tried
hou.GeometryViewport.setCamera('cam1')

and below is the snapshot of the error im getting

please help me out. thank you

You need an instance of GeometryViewport to call setCamera, it's not static. I think the full expression is something like this:
hou.ui.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer).curViewport().setCamera(hou.node(“/obj/cam1”))

You can also execute hscript commands from Python:
hou.hscript(“viewcamera -c cam1 *.*.world.persp1”)

thank you very much.2nd one worked perfectly

but in my case.i creatd the camera through script and when the script is executed i want the camera to look through it rather than typing the script again.
is there any way for that?

Sure, just put one of those statements at the end of your script, something like:
myCam = hou.node(“/obj”).createNode(“cam”, “myCam”)
hou.hscript(“viewcamera -c ” + myCam.name() + “ *.*.world.persp1”)
