Nice video by the way ;)

I have a wee enhancement to ask for too.
Please can we have a Home button for camera navigation.
I know this is silly but I got lost in a scene somewhere - I was zoomed in or out too far or looking in the wrong direction or something but I got totally disorientated and I had to kill Octane and start again. :lol:

Until that is implemented, you can go to the ThinLens node and change the target and position back to 0,0,0 to reset to the origin. That way you don't have to lose all your hard work.

this navicam does seem like a good solution to navigate large scenes.
So if i understand correctly,
when you click on the viewport , it finds the intersection with the object and then zooms in towards it ?

Might I add that blender has a new camera navigation system that looks similar, and smoother...

Overall it looks an alike solution to me, and while blender and cinema 4d clearly has it, my point isn't exactly about these modelers having it, rather in enhancing the octane's own.
