Create Camera From View

Create Camera From View creates a Target camera whose field of view matches an active Perspective viewport. At the same time, it changes the viewport to a Camera viewport for the new camera object, and makes the new camera the current selection.

• Activate a Perspective viewport. > Objects menu > Cameras > Create Camera From View
• Activate a Perspective viewport. > Keyboard > +C

Creating a camera object to match a Perspective view

Alternatively, if the scene already contains a camera and the camera is selected, then Create Camera From View behaves the same as Match Camera to View.

Note: Create Camera From View is available only when a Perspective viewport is active.

To create a camera from a view, assuming any existing cameras are unselected:

1. Activate a Perspective viewport.
2. If necessary, adjust the viewport using Pan, Zoom, and Orbit, or the ViewCube, until you have a view you like.
3. Leaving the viewport active, on the Views menu choose Create Camera From View or press +C.

   3ds Max creates a new camera, matching its view to that of the Perspective viewport, and then switches the Perspective viewport to a Camera viewport, showing the view from the new camera.
