Title: Resize VFB Mac OS
Post by: smckenzie on 2023-10-18, 00:30:00
Is is still not possible to resize the VFB on MacOS? Regardless of what my render setting is, the VFB runs at a much larger resolution. I've set a maximum size in Corona prefs but that doesn't make any difference either.

Hi @smckenzie,
Thanks for contacting us.
Could you please elaborate a little bit more about the issue?
Where did you set the "maximum size" in Corona preferences?
What is your display resolution (W x H in pixels)?
What is your image output size?
What are you trying to achieve?
Please include as much info as possible (including screenshots) to illustrate the issue so that we can provide a more accurate solution/suggestion.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.

Output size is 800px334px
Max Res in Prefs is 850

VFB launches at 1596x666px.

If I uncheck "Adjust render resolution VFB" it will stick to selected output size. This option isn't mentioned in the online documentation.

Hi @smckenzie,
Thanks for your reply.
If I understood correctly, what you're trying to achieve is to resize the VFB's window to make it even smaller than its minimal default. Am I correct?
If so, please consider that the VFB has a fixed minimal UI size that cannot be modified and is set like that to ensure VFB tools display correctly. You can resize it to a bigger size.
If you want, you can use the built-in C4D's Picture Viewer window instead; this way, you'll be able to resize it according to your needs (see reference image) while still adjusting Corona parameters.
I hope this helps.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
