saving only visible object

32 votes

Hello
I'm thinking about a script to save only objects displayed in the camera field (like "save selection" but for the camera viewport)
the goal is to make my huge architecturals scene easier to render, because sometimes i just want to render a part of the project (my camera field) and not the total scene,i think this could make my render faster
I'm working on it, so if you have suggestion or if a similar script already exists, please tell me !
(Sorry for my poor english, i'm french! )

it will create an object that represents your camera view. You could use that to select objects within that volume (using a Vol Select modifier) and then use Save Selected.

bobo (Borislav Petrov) has a script like that. Don't know exactly what the scriptname is but I saw it in one of the e-learning lessons of the Autodesk subscription center for 3ds Max. Good luck.
