Thin Lens Camera settings not in 3Ds Max?

Hi,

So I noticed when looking in the Standalone version that the Thin Lens Camera has all real world camera settings that I´ve been looking for since I started with Octane.

I´ve attached a screenshot from the standalone version.

Can you PLEASE implement this to the Octane Camera in 3Ds Max? :)

Cheers,

YES for this. Now knowing that the standalone already has this feature, it seems even more strange not to have it in the plugin. Is there some kind of issue about adding this? I'm asking since Daniel asked about this before and got a totally irrelevant response with no indication of that this will ever be done.

If Otoy claims that the current solution is better, I'd really love to know why because I can't see it.

Hi,

Improved integration of Octane camera features, among other user requests, will be attended to with the upcoming Octane 3 releases. New feature integration work for 2.x releases are being held off, in favor of comprehensive bug-fixing and stability improvements. There will be better clarification once the Octane 3 releases are closer.

Thank you for your reply. This is the news I wanted to hear, and that you are waiting for it to O3 is fully understandable.

Last time I heard about it, Otoy's reply sounded like it was never going to be taken care of, hence my skepsism.

Yes, thank you for the reply! Much appreciated to actually get some info to what´s going on :)

Looking forward to 3.0 even more now! Thanks Azen!

Dumb question: What, pray tell, is a 'thin lens camera'?

I don't know what that is...but I still want it!

best,
