First up, Thanks for the great renderer and max plugin.

I don't know if its possible, or maybe something that is already there that i missed. But could you add a button to make the OctaneRender viewport so that it stays on the same view or camera even when you are working from a different view (but still update when you make changes)? it could be called "lock view" or something like that.

best regards

If you use two viwport windows, have one on the camera you want to work with and the other one in ortographic. When you switch from the camera to ortographic, Octane stays in the camera.

I totally agree with Defex. That is a needed feature.

And Berge, yeah that works. I already knew about this workaround. But it's not a feature. And It kinda slows down user performance.

We've been asking those kind of updates or features if you will.
I personally gave up asking for features or updates after Marcus once made clear that they are not keen on putting effort in working on small updates before 1.5 release.
So I'm waiting until that day comes.
Cheers,
