When i was modeling facial blendshapes i wanted a quick way to see how the shapes were working in the front and side views so i wrote a Maya hotkey to toggle between the front and side camera. Hope you find this helpful.
//toggle front and side of active panel string $window = `getPanel -withFocus`;//example modelPanel1 if( `modelEditor -q -camera $window` == "side" ){ lookThroughModelPanel front $window; } else{ lookThroughModelPanel side $window; }
cheers,
Nate
