  • Isolate Mode - Camera "Problem"

    i have s slight problem that causes me a lot of trouble and i had to do countless re-renderings because of it. here is the trap i fell for quite a few times: you have your scene ready for rendering, everything is setup, you are in in the active camera view and you just want to make a slight change to one scene object. i usually select the object and then switch into isolate mode, do the changes in a perspective view, switch back into the camera view and exit the isolate mode. now what happens is that even if you are in a camera view, once you exit the isolate mode 3dsmax puts you into a perspektive view whick looks exactly like the camera view so if you dont double check after you exited isolate mode you wont notice that you are suddenly in perspective view. and guess what, since everything was ready to render before i switched to isolate mode i just send it to backburner, leave the office and come back the next day to see that half of the images are way too bright thats always a good start for a day.... so my question is if there is somewhere a setting in max where i can tell max to keep my camera view when exit the isolate mode?
    i know that i could first exit the isolate mode and then switch to the camera view but its not that easy to get that habbit out of me locking the camera in the render settings is also not an option for me because i usually have a lot of cameras in my scene and switching them in the render dialog would be a pain in the....

        Yes all fixed in 2014. Best upgrade since 2012. Much like Windows, every other version of Max is junk.
