[Anonymous]

Anybody else struggling with this? All the xyz handles jump when moving one.

Max2022 / win10

Vray

To be honest RobH2, I don't think you're helping anyone. You're assuming everyone else is stupid and just not using correctly. Perspective match hasn't worked correctly since max 2019 (last working version). Making micro adjustments isn't the solution as even the slightest adjustment can throw all the lines completely out of whack. It is impossible to align a scene when you "micro" adjust any of the lines and they all shift. My only resolution is to install a 3ds max 2019 to set up cameras with perspective match, then bring them back into 3ds max 2022. Don't know about anyone else but I would hardly call this a working method.

@zpetersenF4WH3 I'm sorry you've so completely misinterpreted my attempt to help. I spend 100s of hours in these forums helping users. It's exhausting to endure the constant complaining that goes on here. People these days would rather moan and complain than to accept what is, work with it or find a work around. If you you don't like Max, stop using it. We can't force the developers to fix the things that hamper our work on a moments notice. So, since that is not an option, the remaining one is to find away around the pothole in a positive way.

@RobH2 You're on a support network, whining about people asking for support. If developers don't know that masses are having an issue with their product then how do they know there is an issue. Don't misinterpret the peoples search for an answer as moaning. It doesn't help when a thread has 30 people saying they have an issue, then yourself contradicts them by saying "yeah it's broken, but hey just deal with it". We spend thousands of dollars a year on a product and would expect that product to work. You wouldn't buy a brand new car with the defect of a broken radio and not request it to be fixed, correct? Based on your conclusions you would just drive another car when you want to listen to music, or maybe even listen to your iPhone. No one has the expectation of a developer to fix something at a moments notice. There are websites all over the internet where people have stated that the function has been broken since version 2020, that's two new whole iterations since the function has been broken. Everyone experience on this thread I can guarantee is genuine and not misuse. The perspective match is unusable in its current form, and this has been tested in our environment on multiple machines with various hardware configurations. Every single adjustment moves all the perspective lines at the same time. If you're not experiencing the issue then kudos, you're one lucky human.

For anyone looking for an actual workaround, I use perspective match on a daily basis within my workday and have found the only workaround for myself was to install a copy of 3ds max 2019, where I set up all my perspective matched cameras. I then import these cameras into my working scenes in 3ds max 2022. Not optimal having to switch between multiple versions of the software, but the only fix I have found to date. Hopefully, 3ds max 2019 stays supported when 2023 comes out, otherwise, this fix may not be helpful too much longer.

As a follow up to my above post, I have found on another thread that the issue was acknowledged by Autodesk, logged and fixed in update 2022.1 last month. The power of asking for help and expressing your issues. 

I have tested this update with the scenes I have been having issues with and can confirm that this update resolves the issue.

I am having issues as well.

[mgraff0924]

I have been using perspective match for years (decades really), and its never been this much of a struggle. in fact its impossible to get it to line up.

[mgraff0924]

@Anonymous Bell. Is there a fix?

[baran.gulcan]

It is not useable in most cases. You do not help at all by claiming otherwise. The tool is extreamly unstable and a simple task for just alligning some lines shouldn't take more than 2 min. Please look in to this function 

[zpetersenF4WH3]

fixed in update 2022.1

[zpetersenF4WH3]

This issue was fixed in update 2022.1. Update your software and see if you still have issues. It’s been broken for years but by update resolved all issues for myself.

[joehad]

I do not think so, I am using 2022.1 now and the perspective matching is still terrible. I also update all my software. nothing changed.

does anybody still facing the same issue?

[Artisticvisions]

Same problem here. I have to back the release to 2021 to set up cameras in the perspective match, This is not a computer or hardware issue, as suggested above, the is a software bug. it appears 2022.1 fixed this.

[Anonymous]

I have also the same problem. Has anyone found a solution in the 2022-edition, or do we just have to use 2021?

[zpetersenF4WH3]

Update your 3ds max to the latest Hotfix…

[arqrenderz]

Max perspective match has been for ages with us, I think its time for an Upgrade to it don't you think? We can look at other softwares like C4d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKNh1h32xk Janky perspective lines have always come to hunt max users, from time to time its super difficult to align a photo, other times is just simple 5 minutes. But i think 3dsmax can do better! 

[matthew.boerjan]

The issue is far from resolved. Still broken in latest version of 2022.3, also broken in 2021 even in 2020, have to roll back to 2019 to get a correctly working perspective match.

What are developers doing to break things like these when publishing new versions, can't believe this. Can't align z axis they jump to extreme perspective, impossible to lign up y axis on 2021. They tried to resolve this, but still the z axis issue remains. This is a ongoing problem for years now, and still nothing has been done even if they state otherwise. They should really look into this and just reuse the working codes and algorithms from 2019 and incorporate them in the other versions. So sorry but I don't agree. The issue is still there.

[Diffus3d]

I am on 2021 and having this issue as well.  Seems it crops up from time to time, I remember this happening some years back in the past as well.  Best bet for anyone having issues is to submit the bug report in addition to posting your issues on the forums.   

Best Regards,

awesome demo of how it should be done ! Look at this 3dsmax developers and try to do the same ! This is the way...this is the way.......

[mark.clay]

Even 3ds max 2019 is glitching up. 

Vanishing lines are lined up and box is in correct position 🙂then create a standard camera, but now the vanishing lines are broken 😕realign vanishing lines, but now the box perspective is off. 😠

[arqrenderz]

I downloaded max 2022.3 and the issue seems Fixed, give it a try.
