Script
By oliveremley · Credited author: Oliver Emley · 2013-06-15
This is a script that will allow you to create a Max Standard Target Camera (Ctrl+C) at the click of a button. More importantly it will allow you to create a VRay Phycical Camera from prespect view at the touch of a button. No more having to align your Vray-camera with the standard Max Camera. You can also choose which camera to display in the selected viewport from a drop-down list
To install simply copy the downloaded macroscript file to C:\Users\(Username...)\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMaxDesign\2013\ENU\usermacros You may need to enable show hidden files to access the folder. After that you open 3ds max, go to customize> Customize User Interface> Toolbars. Under category find Oliver Emley and then drag CAMVIEW to an existing toolbar or create a new one. I have created it in Max 2013 but it may work in prevous versions. Hope it makes all your lives easier.

It does not work for 2018 version. Not for Vray physical camera at least. The 3ds camera works fine.

-- assign some keyboard to it , to make it easy

assign to your ctrl+c shortcut....it'll create vray camera instead standard camera when its detect your renderer is vray , n standard camera if the renderer isnt vray.

A VRay camera can be aligned to the perspective view by creating it in another viewport, activating perspective view and THEN use 'CTRL + C' as normal.
This will align the new VRay camera to the perspective view....in fact it'll align any selected VRay camera to the perspective view.
