Hi Team

Would be nice if we can have something that will zoom extents to window size. Like Ctrl 0 in other apps.

ctrl (left or right mouse click) goes in and out…

edt: double left click is extents zoom, actually.

None of that works to zoom extents. Ctrl left click or right click zooms in out by roughly factors of 50% of current. Double click just zooms 100%, none fits my image to the window. A similar thing to Ctrl 0 in PS would be nice

okay, I guess I misunderstood your question…best luck

are you trying to make the vfb window itself maximized to fill the screen?

Currently for performance reasons, the VFB only does scales that are a power of 2, but maybe we can look into fractional scales at some point.

Double-click in the V-Ray VFB reverts the zoom level to 1:1 without changing the window size; I don’t think we will change that.
