Camera not synced Tweet

[aspin]

I have a problem with the camera. The camera is never synced live. I always have to disable scene sync and then enable scene sync to sync the camera.
Is there any config file, where I might have disabled it in the past?

What version of the plugin are you using pls? Can you post your plugin Settings screen?

Right now I am using 2.25.0.68. I tried with older versions as well.
This happened with the beta of version 3 as well. My OS is Windows 7 64bit. No difference using Poser Pro 2014 (GD) or PP 11.
I have a 3dconnexion mouse... maybe this has a side-effect?

How do I upload an image? Can I only embed an image from another site?
Allow scaled poser cameras is disabled in the settings.

changing pose of a character isn't synced as well, it is not only the camera that isn't synced live.

Allow scaled poser cameras is disabled in the settings.

Then if you have scaled the camera that is being rendered, the camera will not sync. However I think a warning pops up when this happens.

changing pose of a character isn't synced as well, it is not only the camera that isn't synced live.

Do you have the Auto Refresh button toggled on?

What does the Octane Log show?

Also, if your camera is parented to anything other than the Universe in the scene, then it will not sync (this is a Poser limitation, which I have reported to Smith Micro).

The camera is neither scaled nor parented. Auto Refresh button is toggled on.
The more I think of it... nothing is synced live, no matter what I do in Poser. Octane only reacts to changes in the scene, if I add or delete something.

What I do:
1. I delete everything from start scene including lights
2. I add 1 infinite light and 1 box from primitives
3. I start Octane
4. Toggle Auto refresh on
5. "Open viewport"
6. move camera with camera controls and move box - no visual feedback in the Octane viewport
7. add ball primitive - and Octane refreshes the scene

It sounds like PoserPython is not issuing the camera and geometry change events. What other plugins are you running?

I removed all plugins and ... Netherworks Camera Panel Plus plugin is fighting with Octane.
