IPR Camera update

[jmrsimard]

Hi, just wondering if it's normal that when I navigate through the camera the ipr only updates after I let go of the mouse?
I use Octane in C4D as well and it seems much faster than in Houdini. Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, currently Houdini only updates the camera nodes parameters when the mouse button is released, so only at that point the camera update event is sent to the events system to update the Octane scene. This is currently a Houdini limitation, but I have in mind some workarounds using an additional display plugin to catch the camera updates from the viewports in real time.

Amazing thanks Juanjo! Any idea when this might maybe possibly make it into a future build?
Thanks,
