Realistic Camera not updating

[larsgehrt]

Hey guys,

Have you also noticed that the realistic camera does not update when you change settings?

Both viewport and Live view render does not update when you change settings, I have to press the update scene several times before something happens.

Hi larsgehrt,
The realistic camera seems to be working fine on my end, I can’t reproduce your issue. Could you share a few more details so we can better understand what problem you’re running into?

Hey Paride, sure.

When I create a new realistic camera, and maybe want to change the lens, it will not change anything in the 3ds max viewport. This also goes for Octanes render viewer.

After a while it will start to work again though.

If I create a Universal Camera, I can change settings straight away and I can see the changes.

Also, I have a scene with many realistic cameras, and when I change between them in the live viewer, I have to press update Scene for the camera to fetch the settings that are made to that specific camera.

Hi larsgehrt,
the realistic camera seems to be working, I recorded a video. Are you using the same version of the plugin as I am (v2025.3 - 16.08)?

Hi larsgehrt,
Up to version 16.04 of the plugin there was an issue with the Realistic Camera, are you maybe using one of those versions?
