Hi All,

As someone who mainly uses Redshift I got used to the ability to lock the Live Viewer to a specific camera and have my C4D View independent of the Live Viewer or active camera. I know that one can disable the "Update Camera" option in LV but if I want LV to look through a camera that moves or if I reposition that camera the Octane LV doesn't update.

Of course if I'm mistaken please let me know but from reading the documentation, searching online and talking with other Octane users I don't see a proper implementation of this feature at this time.

Maybe I'm dumb but I don't quite understand what you mean. I looked at the documentation and I couldn't find anything either. Could you explain the steps I need to take to enable this? I'm using 2020.1 of the C4D plugin.
