lock view in plugin while moving around in sketchup? Tweet

[Jorgensen]

I wonder if it's possible to lock the render view, and then move around in sketchup?

If lock the render view, i can't move around in the octane view, but it's still linked to the sketchup view, so if i move in sketchup, it moves in the render view.

Is there a trick for this?

thanks

Hi,
This is a powerful request, especial if combined with only edited geometry get updated in Render viewport. It's like a dynamic render region (c4d has it if i remember correctly).

Look at this (what c4d had 3 yers ago )

Right now u could do someting like this....

U can walk aroun in SU while octane render, but if update anything >render restarts

best,
Johnny

Hi,

The feature of locking the viewport can be found in the Octane Viewport (a padlock symbol just above the Octane Nodegraph inside the Viewport).

It is likely that the change to 3.07 has compromised this feature. We should have this function restored in the next feature.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
