Viewport render and 2D zoom

BrianHanke — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 13:12:36 GMT

Howdy, is there a way to get the Arnold viewport render to respect 2D zoom? The default here is for the top and bottom of the square frame to be cut off, so I used the 2D zoom tool to pull back. Arnold still renders the "full size" object, ignoring the zoom. Thank you!

Bump. Still curious if there's a workaround for this.

"The 2D Pan/Zoom feature does not render by default. To render the panned/zoomed view, you must enable the Render Pan Zoom attribute under the Camera Attribute Editor, Display Options section, 2D Pan/Zoom subsection."

Also, just adding to @lee_griggs reply. Sometimes this doesn't work immediately if you've been rendering in the Arnold Render View without it (Render 2D Zoom) enabled. I've found that after enabling the Render 2D Zoom option that I then need to close the Arnold Render View, open it back up, and switch the camera dropdown to another camera and then back to the one I want to render.

Pls, how do I activate Rendering for CoronaCamera in 2D Pan Zoom Mode in 3ds Max 2025?
