3DS Max VRAY Camera Show Safe Frame

Get Help
1

I am having a problem synchronizing the Safe Frame of the VRay camera from 3DS Max 2026 with D5 Render 2.11 Live Link.
How can I make D5 respect the Safe Frame of a VRay camera from 3DS Max?

Hi @DCHA34

Can you provide us with a screenshot pointing out this issue?

Hi, I have run a few tests since then, and it only works if I manually enter the output size in the D5 camera settings.
Why doesn’t D5 retrieve this information automatically?

Hi @DCHA34

The Safe Frame feature in the host application (e.g., 3ds Max) is not a sub-function of the camera object. Instead, it is intrinsically determined by the rendering output settings, specifically the defined output image resolution (aspect ratio). This determined frame is then reflected in the main viewport or preview interface.

  • Let me know if what we have explained is the same thing as what you’re pointing out~

Ok. But is it possible to retrieve this information (size and/or aspect ratio) from the host application’s camera and integrate it into the D5 camera?

Hi @DCHA34

The max plugin only synchronizes model/material/camera position information, while the safety frame is not included
