[Jacob Hutson]

Hi Vlado, guys
nice tech demo for next step in vray. (vray.info) just wondering if the camera from perspective view is a a new feature or something we dont know about

also wondering what this runs like on 4 core systems

as far as the camera from perspective, it is part of max. Just create a camera make sure it is still selected and the go to the "views" menu and selected "create camera from view"

lele's Vray Script found at www.scriptspot.com contain a tool to do this for Vray Phy Cams.
I use it all the time.
Cheers

When you create a V-Ray camera, and then select a Perspective view, you can use Ctrl+C to align the camera to the view.

very nice! when was this added?
In any case, the script has also other functionalities, like converting standard camera, respecting their animation (through parenting) and converting eventual FoV animation (through baking), as well as mass-conversion.

I think it was added in Max 1 or 2 or maybe 3

I knew CTRL+C created a camera, but didn't know it would align it to the perspective view.
It's nice to learn a new thing every day

You don't have to create a camera first, just be in perspective view and then hit ctrl+c, done.

Yes, but then it would create a regular camera, not a VRayPhysicalCamera. For the VRayPhysicalCamera you need to create it first, and then press Ctrl+C to align it while it is still selected.
