Subject: Duplicate Camera or Copy Camera Settings?

I guess I'm just having a rough day, but for the life of me I cannot recall how to duplicate a camera. I have the scene set up the way I want in the MAIN camera. I would like to make a new camera with the identical settings.

That means I want to either duplicate the MAIN camera (and rename the new one) Or make a new camera and copy the settings EXACTLY as they appear in the Main camera (tried this manually, but it didn't work -- there were subtle changes to the viewport).

I tried exporting the Main camera and then importing it, but that didn't give me a new camera.

Any help or scripts would be appreciated.

Have you tried saving the camera to the camera library? That is what I do when I want to save settings to a camera. Then I have it anytime I want to use it.

I really hadn't considered that. Not exactly what I was thinking of, but it definitely has possibilities.I'll try it and let you know.

I finally decided to just follow the directions in the manual and add the Camera to a memory dot for now. I also LOCKED it for the time being:

  1. In the Hierarchy Editor, click the "Show cameras" checkbox,
  2. In the list, click on the camera.
  3. in the main menu, go to "Object."
  4. Near the top of the list, click "Lock Object."
