When I render at a high resolution in the live viewer, like 6000 pixels, is there any way to keep it rendering at that full resolution but somehow pan or zoom around to view the actual render in the live viewer. What I have to do it set the number on the top right to like .2 for it all to show up then put it back to 1 for full res... But then I can only see a section of my render and not the full thing.

Hope that makes sense..

Thanks

If you untick the lock icon it will render the full image at whatever size your LV window is. Ticking the lock with a setting of 1 should give you the result you requested - full 6000 pixels with panning capabilities.

Yeah I get that, but no panning capabilites when I tick the lock. Is there a special button of somesort? And can you zoom? or just pan?

no modifier key should be needed, just click and drag.
If you want to zoom in further increase the number from 1 to 1.1 (or as far as you need to go)

It's as how you do in normal mode or viewport. ALT+mouse buttons. Haven't you tried that?

I got it working somewhat... I couldn't move because I had the protection tag on my camera. Is there a way to move around in the render without moving the camera?

I get it, I don't want to rotate or anything like that, I just want to zoom out and in on some areas and pan around, while viewing the image at its full res... Like photoshop, zoom out to like 15% or something, then pan and zoom into 70% without the render restarting or camera moving. Basically how the modo octane plugin works...

Thanks for all the help thus far!

I thought you were referring to a Photoshop like feedback.
see this screen record - no modifier keys are being pressed, just left mouse click and drag
In this case 1 = 6000px in the LV, and 0.5 = 3000px in the LV

Also, LFedit, make sure you don't have the focus or material picker engaged when you try to pan.

Ahhh got it. Weird, I wonder what I was doing wrong... Something so simple. Is there no way to zoom in and zoom out without the render restarting? Like you can with the mouse wheel in the modo plugin?

Thanks again for all the help!
