I've updated max's macroscript, and now it's able to create Maxwell Free Camera from Perspective view. It's useful for me, hope it will be useful for you.

The script is here:
-For MAX6-
-For MAX7-
-For MAX8-

Installation notes:
1. Copy macro_objectscameras.mcr file to your UI\MacroScripts directory. Overwrite the old one.
2. Start 3dsmax. Go to Customize > Customize User Interface... menu.
3. In the Category list select Lights and Cameras.
4. Find the Create Camera From View(Maxwell Camera) function from the list and assign hotkeys to it. I used Ctrl+Shift+C
5. Now close all those rollouts and menus and select your perspective viewport.
6. Press hotkeys (Ctrl+Shift+C for example) and get your new Maxwell Free camera from current perspective view!

Vansan,
this sounds very useful, but I can't seem to get it to work.
With max 6, when I hit ctrl+shft+c which I have assigned to it, I get the following error:
Compile error: unrecognized macro parameter: enabledIn
Inline: enabledIn (#max,viz,vizr)

[vansan]

I'm on max 7.5, so...

Just place -- before this stroke and save script.
Then try again, hope it'll help.

God damn i'm on max 6 and i just over wrote without saving. This smelly horrible script doesn't work and now both my camera creations don't work

[vansan]

Thanks again

The links seem to be the wrong way round though.

Sorry, now all is OK.

Cheers me dears

Wonderful it works, thanks, but how to create a target maxwell camera from view, this seems to only create a free maxwell cam.

Edit: Sorry disregard my question, i forgot that you could change this within the camera rollout, i'll thoroughly beat myself
