Hello
It seems the isometric camera behaves strangely in the Live Viewer.
- The framing is a bit off, it's not 1:1 with the Cinema viewport camera
- The actual isometric angle seems to be slightly different
- Can't seem to easily zoom in the Octane live viewer. It clips through the model, but doesn't seems to get closer to it.
I'm guessing this has to do with some Octane specific isometric camera that behaves differently than the cinema camera, i.e. locked position. If so, what are the limitations, and are there any workarounds? Planning an isometric project.

Thank you for you time
EDIT: Since there hasn't been much interest in this, I thought I'd share a possible solution. Just use a normal perspective camera and set the angle of view a bit lower, like 18. That will give a nice isometric-like look which behaves fine in Octane.

I've found out an isometric camera for octane in Cinema4D can be made with these settings...
camera projection: Parallel camera
camera rotation...
H: 45. (or -45, 135 etc)
P: 35.264 (or -35.264)
B: 0
this was found out with this thread...
http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/ind ... 26144.html
which points to the magic numbers in here...

Hope that helps someone else, it took me a while to find this info online.
