hi all,

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there not a way to lock the camera in the octane-veiwport in 3dsmax?

If I make an update in a topview in my 3dsmax viewport, it switches to topview inside the octane viewport, which is very unhandy.

I can click the *lock update* button, but then for example if I want to move the camera, I need to click on the viewport in 3dsmax and then click refresh.
Which kind of defeats the purpose of real-time rendering. In standalone it's a breeze :o

Hi whersmy,
Lock Camera button (Octane viewport) locks the camera for the 3DS Max Viewport that you want to render. If you disable this function, 3DS Max® restarts the render each time you select a different 3DS Max Viewport.
