Defining views in Max?

adam

I really really enjoy working with an Field of View of '90' while using Perspective view in Max. However, any time I switch to an isometric view then back to Perspective, my FOV is set to the default of '45'.

I am wondering if it is at all possible to define what each view is. So when I go to Pespective it is always set to a 90 degree field of view.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you are using Max 2008, you can assign the following macro to whatever perspective is set to (p probably):

viewport.settype #view_persp_user
viewport.setfov 90

Is there any way to force the perspective view to FOV45 for max9?

This is something that's always bugged me, a lot of times when I keep switching between perspective and other views, the FOV value changes on my perspective viewport. It just keeps randomly changing to things like 65 degrees, 80 degrees, etc.

Don't think so but I may be wrong. Can't think of a workaround, either, but if I come across something I'll let you know.

Prof's method of adding a script was what I wanted. Give it a go in Max 9.

I tried it last night for the hell of it, and it didn't work in Max9. I got an error
