Realistic Camera not updating

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?
Regards
Paride

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?
