I have generate a HIP file scene that has geometry, camera and Mantra node.

How do I set the current camera as the rendering camera ?

Set the Mantra node's 'camera' parameter to the path to the camera node to render with that camera in Mantra.

If the scene is generated by script, then the python would be something like:

ifd = hou.node('/out/mantra1')
ifd.parm('camera').set('/obj/shotcam1')
