viewports and rendering

[Adam Trachtenberg]

Not exactly sure what you’re saying, but only one viewport is used for rendering to the picture viewer. You designate which one you want to use by going into the viewport’s edit menu and selecting “use as render view.”

For editor rendering, whichever viewport is currently active will render. There’s no way to lock that.

[Rob] “is there away to set the scene camera as the default under the render settings?”

No. Since you can have an infinite number of cameras, each with its own settings, how should C4D know which one to use? You just have to adapt your workflow.

not sure how else to explain it to you. if i have one viewport open and its set to the scene camera, the render still renders the editor camera. when i go back to look at all my 4 vieports, from the different angles and switch them all to scene camera, then it renders properly

[Adam Trachtenberg]

I wasn’t sure if you were talking about rendering to the editor window as opposed to the picture viewer. Sounds like the latter, in which case, as I said, “You designate which one you want to use by going into the viewport’s edit menu and selecting ‘use as render view.'”
