Camera converter

[voltron7]

This must be a wish by now...but anyway, with all of the other amazing capabilities I wish V-Ray had a built in script exactly like LeLe's camera converter.
LeLe's will still work in 2013, but I must run it as a script each time...

It would be really useful if V-Ray had something similar.
Or, even something like native 3dsMax's "cntrl+c" shortcut...

Thanks for reading.

You can set it up as a macroscript and assign a shortcut to that script - I don't use it myself as I don't touch the physical camera all that much, but it's definitely possible to set as a key.

Yeah, that work great for me up until upgrading to max2013, but now I can only get it to run using maxscript>run script> method.

Ugh - might be that max has changed some of the macroscript lines - you might be able to open it up, take all the code inside the macroscript () lines out and then drag it to a button instead.

Max can do this...

look through your standard camera, press p to go into perspective from the same view, create a physical camera, press ctrl+c to align it to the perspective view then type in the same focal length.
This produces the same result. Going the other way is easier, just press p then ctrl+c with nothing selected.

Think I tried but will try again to be sure, thank you!

Yep, somehow, I can never remember this one, perhaps I became to reliant on a script!? Thanks a bunch cubicle
