Object
These are cameras or moving objects, from the Obj list, not “objects” as in “object-orient programming.” Use "new myshot.obj" to add a new moving object.
Some soft-lock attributes functions use bit masks to control what channels are locked, have keys, etc. The values for the channels are x=1, y=2, z=4, tilt=8, pan=16, roll=32, fov=64, dist=128, hold=256. So those functions control axis soft- locking, hard-locking (when weight=0), and the normal/tripod hold-mode selection.
GeoH attributes often have six or seven channels, ie geoLock1 ... geoLock7. These are the three position values, three rotation angles, and optionally a distance value. Whereas transform data such as .solvetrans and
.geoPivot is automatically swizzled into the current axis mode (Z-Up, Y-Up, Y-Up- Left), channel data is always in a fixed order corresponding to Z-Up, ie X L/R is
channel 1, Y F/B is channel 2, and Z U/D is channel 3. The rotation angles correspond to X angle, Y angle, and Z angle in Z-Up, in the order rotate around Y, then around X, then around Z. So X is tilt (channel 4), Y is roll (channel 5), and Z is pan (channel 6). There is a wide variety of data available; you should use channel values with channel values, and transforms and vectors with transforms and vectors, but avoid mixing channel values with transforms as you are unlikely to get the swizzling right. Note that the channels are not in order on the GeoH panel, and the order even changes depending on the axis mode.
.ADCompensate(vec) Compensate the vector vec (perhaps a
tracker location) for the effective anamorphic distance, returning the compensated value. If this object is a camera, vec and the return value are in world coordinates. If this object is a moving object, vec and the return value are in object coordinates, and the compensation assumes that the host camera is the view camera, which is not necessarily the case.
Heavily dependent on the current frame and solve.
.ADDecompensate(vec) Removes the compensation of the vector vec
for the effective anamorphic distance, returning the compensated value.
Decompensation is required for using mesh- intersection routines that return a distance to the hit point, to determine what coordinate would result in this compensated location. If this object is a camera, vec and the return value are in world coordinates. If this object is a moving object, vec and the return value are in object coordinates, and the compensation assumes that the host camera is the view camera, which is not necessarily the case.
Heavily dependent on the current frame and solve.
.ADFrameCompensator(optargs) Returns a special compensator object for
quickly compensating vectors for anamorphic distance on this particular frame . The returned object embeds all the information at the time of its creation, and thus does not change even if you later change the frame number, camera position, etc. The returned compensator object has two functions, Compensate(vector) and Decompensate(vector) — the latter used after mesh intersection operations so that pos +
nrm*distance calculations come out right. If the compensator was created on a camera, it compensates world coordinates. If created on a moving object, it compensates in object coordinates, assuming the moving object’s camera is the viewing camera . If the optarg is a moving object, the compensator compensates coordinates (eg tracker locations) in the moving object’s frame, but as seen from the camera on which this compensator was created. If created on a camera with a mesh as the first optional optarg argument, it compensates the mesh’s vertex coordinates, for making vertex caches. For meshes, there can be a second optional argument that indicates whether or not the vertex values need scaling (2 nd arg = 1 or missing), ie coming from msh.vtx or msh.DeformedUS(); or if they are already scaled (2 nd arg = 0), ie coming from msh.Deformed(). Either way, the vertices are always returned with the same scaling (or not) as they were supplied.

.ApplyTransform(scl, xf, wam, oflg) Transform the object's coordinate system
(and attached moving objects and a stereo shot's other eye) by the specified scale factor scl and transform xf. Meshes are also updated if wam is nonzero. For moving objects, oflg controls modifications to the transform: 0 makes changes in the world coordinate system with the object at the current frame, 1 is a simpler version of that, and 2 changes the object in object coordinates.

.GeoSetVertexWeight(vno, w, wantw) Set the vertex weight for the specified
vertex number (ie from the base mesh) to the specified weight. You must call GeoUpdatedVertices() after making changes! The w value is either an integer value 0 or 1, or a 0..1 floating point value if there are weights on this layer. The wantw argument is optional; if it is present and this is the first vertex with non-zero weight being written, then weights are created for this object.

.lensAtDefaults Whether any advanced or classic lens parameter is ever at a non-default value; if
none are, there is no actual distortion is present. Warning: fisheye types are distorted at all times; this is not reflected in lensAtDefaults, see .lensHasDistortion. Live prepset only.
.lensCenter Solved or hand-set lens center (U and V point)
.LensCopyShotDistortion(shot_or_cam) Copy the advanced lens distortion
parameters from the shot into the object’s (camera’s) solve parameters. You must set the object’s lensType to match the shot’s lensType before performing this call. Any existing distortion values on this camera are ignored. The argument can be either the shot itself, or the camera containing the shot.
.lensHasDistortion Whether any advanced or classic lens parameter is ever at a non-default value; if none are, there is no actual distortion present. Fine point: fisheye types are distorted at all times; so .lensHasDistortion is on at all times for fisheye lenses. See .lensAtDefaults for a report solely on whether values are at defaults or not!
.LensImageDomain([stoplist, [bboxIn]]) Returns a list of two points, a minimum
and a maximum point in UV coordinates, describing the rectangle in the undistorted image plane that would source pixels to cover the entire distorted image. This is typically used for the overscan area in image compositing apps. If the optional stoplist argument is present, it must be a list of integer parameter numbers; each listed parameter is reset to its default value for this domain calculation. It defaults to the null list []. Similarly, the optional bboxIn argument allows you to specify a rectangle of the distorted image that must be covered (typically with coordinates greater than + or – 1). The bboxIn defaults to [Point(-1,-1), Point(1,1)].
These additional arguments allow detailed analysis when the exported compositing pipe must implement the distortion with multiple stages, each of which is individually clipped.
.LensImageRange([stoplist, [bboxIn]]) Returns a list of two points, a minimum
and a maximum point in UV coordinates,
describing the rectangle in the distorted image plane that would source pixels to cover the entire undistorted image. This is typically used for the bounding boxes in image compositing apps. If the optional stoplist argument is present, it must be a list of integer parameter numbers; each listed parameter is reset to its default value for this domain calculation. It defaults to the null list []. Similarly, the optional bboxIn argument allows you to specify a rectangle of the undistorted image that must be covered (typically with coordinates greater than + or – 1). The bboxIn defaults to [Point(-1,-1), Point(1,1)].
These additional arguments allow detailed analysis when the exported compositing pipe must implement the distortion with multiple stages, each of which is individually clipped.
.lensMode Lens FOV solving mode: 0=known, 1=fixed, 2=zoom, 3=estimate from seed FOV track
.lensmode1, .lensmode2,… Advanced lens parameter solving mode for
parameter N (1 and up): known 0, calculate: 1, animate on keys: 2, animate on frames: 3.

.N (1 and up) on the current frame. Note that any rotation angle is in radians, not degrees.
.lensparam1IsKeyed, .lensparam2IsKeyed,… Whether or not the parameter is
keyed on the current frame.
.lensparam1Animated, .lensparam2Animated,… Whether or not the
parameter is animated (ie not constant).
.LensParamDefault(pno) Default value for this parameter for the
current lens type.
.LensParamIsAnimated(pno) Return 1 if the parameter is truly animated, ie
has keys with multiple different values.
.LensParamIsKeyed(pno) Return 1 if the parameter is keyed on the
current frame, zero if it is not.
.LensParamMode(pno) Return the solving mode of this lens
parameter on the current frame: known 0,
calculate: 1, animate on keys: 2, animate on frames: 3.
.LensParamName(pno) Human-readable name of this parameter.
.LensParamRescaleFactor(pno, adj) Returns a factor that should be applied
to the given parameter if the shot image plane is being scaled up by adj (ie the dimensionless coordinates are being scaled down by a factor of adj). This factor will be some power of adj (including 0 th or 1st).
.LensParamSetKeyed(pno, val) Add a key on the current frame if val=1,
delete any key on the current frame if val=0, and truncate all keys following the current frame if val<0.
.LensRemove(pt) Return the 2-D position on the ideal image plane of the distorted 2-D point pt, based on the current solver distortion settings. Returns null if this operation fails.
.LensRescale(sfac) Adjust all the parameters to reflect a change in the image plane padding or cropping (not resolution!) by sfac. For example, the image is to be padded to increase its size by 20%, so sfac is 1.2, and the distortion coefficients get larger to accommodate that (taking into account the x and y powers of the various coefficients). Note that horizontal and vertical scaling must be the same for this to work, thus there is only one scaling parameter.
.LensResetParams([md]) Reset the parameters to their default values,
based on the current advanced lens type. If the mode md is absent or present with md=1, all parameters are reset. If md=2, only those parameters being solved for are reset.
.LensResetPreservingKeys() Reset the distortion parameters to their
default values (resulting in no distortion), but with the special tweak that any parameters being solved with linear key interpolation will have those key frame values reset to zero, but the key frames will continue to exist, to facilitate potential further work.
.LensSetParam(pno, val) Set the lens parameter to the given value,
creating a key on the current frame. Note that any rotation angle is in radians, not degrees.
.LensSetParamMode(pno) Set the solving mode of this lens parameter
on the current frame: known 0, calculate: 1, animate: 2.
.lensType Advanced lens type: 1: classic perspective, 2: Radial-4 th, 3: Anamorphic-6th, 4:
Radial+Squash, 5: Anamorphic-6th Merged, 6: Std. Radial-4 th, 7: Std. Anamorphic-6th, 8: Std. Anamorphic-6 th Merged, 9: Stereographic, 10:
Equidistant, 11: Equisolid, 12: Orthographic. It will reset the lens parameters any time it is changed to a different value, and it will cause the proper advanced lens dialog to appear.
.lensUCenterChan The parameter number for the U center for the current lens type. The V center is the next one after this. Note that your code must take care, because the parameter is fully animatable, although the solver restricts it to a fixed values.

.solvepan The unvarnished unlimited-range solve pan track, which can go more than 360 degrees. See Scene.recalcSplines to suppress recalculations when making many changes to the path or FOV splines, then use the Recalc functions.
.solvepos The unvarnished Z-Up solve position vector.
See .X, .Y, and .Z also. See Scene.recalcSplines to suppress recalculations when making many changes to the path or FOV splines, then use the Recalc functions.
.solveroll The unvarnished unlimited-range solve roll track. See Scene.recalcSplines to suppress recalculations when making many changes to the path or FOV splines, then use the Recalc functions.
.solvetilt The unvarnished unlimited-range solve tilt track. See Scene.recalcSplines to suppress recalculations when making many changes to the path or FOV splines, then use the Recalc functions.
.solvetrans Solve path transform (r/w). See Scene.recalcSplines to suppress recalculations when making many changes to the path or FOV splines, then use the Recalc functions.
.solvetransIsKeyed 0/1 whether or not frame is keyed (r/w)
.solvetransIsValid 0/1 whether or not the frame has valid data (r/w)
.starting360VRThres 360VR startup threshold
.startingNormalThres Normal startup threshold
.startingTripodThres Tripod startup threshold
.tilt The unvarnished unlimited-range seed or solve tilt track.
.solveWorkflow [UNUSED] Workflow to be applied automatically after solve.
.solveX The unvarnished Z-Up solve x coordinate.
.solveY The unvarnished Z-Up solve y coordinate.
.solveZ The unvarnished Z-Up solve z coordinate.
.TrackerCleanup() Run Track/Cleanup trackers using existing settings, typically from preferences. Returns a lengthy string describing what it did.
.trans Solve transform, if it exists, or seed transform (r/w). See Scene.recalcSplines to suppress recalculations when making many changes to the path or FOV splines, then use the Recalc functions.
.transitionFrames Number of transition frames on solver panel
.tripodJiggle Tripod first path fuzz
.trk List of trackers attached to object (Read only,
new tracker supported)
.uniqueID A unique ID string (representing a 64-bit integer).
.Unsolve(frmcnt, fromStart, checkall, minf, mint) Unsolve frmcnt frames
from this object, from the end if fromStart is 0, the beginning if fromStart is 1, or the playback range if it is 2. Don’t do any if it is -1.
Dependent trackers and possibly additional frames may become unsolved as a result, if trackers are valid on fewer than minf frames, or frames have fewer than mint trackers.
Check all frames also if checkall is set. The solving mode is set to Refine or Refine Tripod to be able to resume solving.
.Unwrap(filnm, wid, hei) Write an "unwrapped" bitmap (.bmp only)
image of this object's GeoH base mesh, with the given width and height, to the specified filename. Coloration reflects the layer stacking as it does in the perspective window.
.UpdateZWT() Recalculate the position of all zero-weight- trackers on this object, or if it is a camera, on any attached object.
.valid Solved position available on this frame? 0: no, 1: yes, 2: keyed.
.vertScale For zoom-squash processing, this is the correction to the aspect ratio on the current frame, ie the 3D point's predicted V coordinate must be multiplied by this value to match the image. This read-only animated value is computed from the
.zoomSquashFOV, .zoomSquashSlope, and
.fov values on the current frame.
.vfov Vertical field of view in degrees for the current frame. This is NOT the same as fov/aspect!
.weight Weight multiplier for the object’s trackers during solving.
.worldSize world size setting
. X The unvarnished Z-Up seed or solve x coordinate. IMPORTANT: this is upper case X, different than lower case, which comes from .trans.
. Y The unvarnished Z-Up seed or solve y coordinate. IMPORTANT: this is upper case X, different than lower case, which comes from .trans.
. Z The unvarnished Z-Up seed or solve z coordinate. IMPORTANT: this is upper case X, different than lower case, which comes from .trans.
.zoomAffectsDistortion When set, allow zoom to affect the amount of
quadratic, cubic, and quartic distortion, resulting in programmatically defined animated distortion values (for the image preprocessor) even though the values are fixed (except zoom).
.zoomCubic Effective cubic distortion on the current frame when zoomAffectsDistortion is on. Animated read-only value calculated from .cubic and
.fov. Reads as .cubic when
.zoomAffectsDistortion is off.
.zoomQuadratic Effective quadratic distortion on the current frame when zoomAffectsDistortion is on.
Animated read-only value calculated from
.quadratic and .fov. Reads as .quadratic when
.zoomAffectsDistortion is off.
.zoomQuartic Effective quartic distortion on the current frame when zoomAffectsDistortion is on. Animated read-only value calculated from
.quartic and .fov. Reads as .quartic when
.zoomAffectsDistortion is off.
.zoomSquashFOV Nominal FOV where aspect ratio correction = 1, ie the stated aspect ratio is correct.
.zoomSquashSlope Slope value from zoom scaling to vertical correction.
.zupseedtrans Seed transform .seed, always in Z-Up to facilitate pan/tilt/roll angles using Transform.orient. If the object is a Camera, corrected so 0,0,0 points along +Y not -Z. *** The orient vector from .zupseedtrans will not allow angles to range more than 360 degrees. See .seedorient instead.
.zupsolvetrans Solve transform .solve, always in Z-Up to facilitate pan/tilt/roll angles using Transform.orient. If the object is a Camera, corrected so 0,0,0 points along +Y not -Z. *** The orient vector from .zupsolvetrans will not allow angles to range more than 360 degrees. See .solveorient instead.
.zuptrans Solve or seed transform, always in Z-Up to facilitate pan/tilt/roll angles using Transform.orient. If the object is a Camera, corrected so 0,0,0 points along +Y not -Z. *** The orient vector from .zuptrans will not allow angles to range more than 360 degrees. See
.orient instead.
(transform attribs) See transform attribute listing. Gives world transform of camera/object
Warning : writing the camera/object path or field of view can take some time because splines and zero-weighted-trackers are recalculated after each write. Use Scene.recalcSplines to temporarily disable the recalculation when making many changes at once.
