Vray NEXT - Vray Camera - impossible to change Vray Cam target distance from within the tab

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

Hi guys,
i dont know if this is by design, but not being able to set the target distance in the Vray Cameras tab is rather annoying.
Can something be done about this please so this works like it does in the Physical Cam??

Thanks a lot for consideration and reply

You need to unlock it from the Checkbox >>

i wish you were right Tashko...but this looks like a bug look at my screen here:


i cant use the spinner - its simply not there and the number is not greyed out but frozen

Any idea what could be wrong with this Tashko?

The Target distance field becomes editable only when you Untick/Uncheck Targeted like shown in my screenshot above. Otherwise the target distance is controlled by moving the camera target in the viewport.
We can change that behavior for our cameras and make it similar to the Max ones, I'm adding a note in our system right now...

OK thanks for this.

Can somethign be also done with the creation of vray tageted lights?
Currently when i create targeteted light i cant just click and drag.
I have to create vray light, then select "targeted" and then position both light and target to where i want.
I defaul max when you create targeted light, it a lot smoother in this regard.
Just a thought

Yes, this is the light creation process for now and we will try to make it like you said - similar to the Max lights, at list to have an option for this, but it is very tricky according to our developers. So we can't promise that we will have success!
