Hi Friends!

In Cinema 4D is a one button solution for converting a View into a Camera! I did not find that function in 3ds MAX!

For example i am in perspective view and wanna make THAT position to a new camera - how can i do that?

And also....is it possible to make this new camera automaticaly a octane camera or is there any chance to convert an axisting camera into a octane camera? Would be speeding up my workflow tremendiously!

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards Chris!

Ctrl+C aligns selected camera to active perspective view. Pressing C assigns the view to selected camera.
So if you're in perspective vew make an Octane camera to some random spot. Leave it selected and press Ctrl+C and then C.

Oh nice shortcut! Thanks.
Still using the 3dsmax camera for that reason. Until now... ;)
