Title: Interactive Viewport fixed settings
Post by: John_Do on 2019-09-26, 11:38:05

Hello,

Would it be possible to have the Interactive Viewport settings in the general C4D Preferences / Corona part, so it can be set once and for all ?

Eventually with a checkbox to switch between two possibilities : a Preferences saving mode and the current "session" mode if the actual behavior is suitable for certain users.

Seems quite useful. +1 :)

Indeed :)

But really?
Since you can already have a custom startup file setup.
Simply make "new.c4d" file with your settings in preferences or root folder.
Or have a bunch of custom defaults set to start as you please. Just drag&drop from a Content Browser ;)

Oh, I forgot to mention the Render Setting & Layout Presets.

Thanks for your suggestion burnin :)

But I'm already using custom startup file in conjunction with some Render Presets and it doesn't work. I doublechecked by redoing the new.c4d file, and it seems that this particular setting isn't tied to any scene specific render settings or Corona general settings. It just comes back every time at the default 50% detail value.

EDIT : just to be clear, I'm talking about these settings

Ahh, yeah. Some similar customization is also missing from Cinema itself and defaults to factory settings. Guess it's hardcoded.
I personally wish every control would have an option to "Save as Default" as all Objects have.
But for now, Dock it somewhere and save a Layout or as a Startup Layout.
