We have updated the camera clipping behavior to allow for script modifications (update 2).
You can now do the following:
Sets the camera near clipp plane to 50:
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import System
rv = rs.GetPlugInObject("V-Ray for Rhino").Scene().Plugin("/RenderView")
rv.Param("clipping").Value = System.Boolean(True)
rv.Param("clipping_near").Value = System.Single(50.0)
Reset to the default behavior:
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import System
rv = rs.GetPlugInObject("V-Ray for Rhino").Scene().Plugin("/RenderView")
rv.Param("clipping").Value = System.Boolean(False)
I think on the long run this nice functionality could be added to the UI so that non advanced users could use it too.
We are considering this but I can’t guarantee it.
