[Download] Camera Resolution Mod for 3ds Max

• Width & Height: Set your render dimensions in pixels. The modifier hooks into 3ds Max’s output system, so the changes reflect instantly in your Render Setup window.

• Aspect Ratio Lock: This little lock icon is a lifesaver. When enabled, changing the Width automatically adjusts the Height (and vice-versa) to keep your aspect ratio perfect. Say goodbye to squished renders! 

• Swap WH: Need to flip a horizontal shot to vertical in one click? This button instantly swaps the width and height values. Perfect for when you want to render a portrait version of a landscape camera setup without retyping anything .

• /2 & x2: Quick scaling buttons. Hit x2 to double your resolution for a high-quality final pass, or /2 to knock it down to a quarter size for a super-fast draft render. It’s a huge time-saver for test renders .

💾 Custom Presets

Do you find yourself using the same resolutions over and over—like 1920×1080, 3840×2160, or 1080×1350 for Instagram?

Instead of remembering the numbers, just save them. 

• Add: Saves your current Width, Height, and lock state as a preset. You can name it something like “4K Wide” or “Vertical Reel” .

• Update: Made a tweak to a preset? Hit Update to save the new values.

• Delete: Cleans up presets you no longer use.

• Apply: Double-click a preset in the list to apply it to your selected camera instantly. This is the fastest way to batch-apply a look.

🔒 Transform Lock

This is a sneaky but brilliant feature. You’ve spent ages perfectly framing a shot. The last thing you want is to accidentally nudge the camera while trying to select something behind it.

The Transform Lock checkbox locks the position, rotation, and scale of the camera (and its target) directly from the modifier . It means you can move other objects around your scene without worrying about ruining your camera’s composition. When you’re done, just uncheck it, or remove the modifier to unlock it instantly .

⏱️ Move Time Slider

Tired of manually dragging the time slider to a specific frame every time you check a camera? 

This feature lets you set a default frame for each camera. Imagine you’re animating a walk cycle. Camera 1 is for the start (Frame 0), Camera 2 is for the middle (Frame 30), and Camera 3 is for the end (Frame 60). When you select “Camera 2”, the time slider automatically jumps to Frame 30. It’s a small touch that makes animating and reviewing multi-camera setups feel incredibly smooth.

🧠 Pro Tips for Your Workflow

• Stay Organized: Name your cameras clearly (e.g., CAM_Master_Brochure, CAM_Instagram_Story). It makes life easier when you come back to the scene a week later.

• The ‘Update’ Setting: The modifier has an “Update” mode. If you find your render resolution isn’t changing when you select a camera, check this is set to Always or Active Camera .

• Combine with Batch Render: While this mod handles the resolution of each camera, you can pair it with 3ds Max’s built-in Batch Render tool. Set up your cameras with their specific resolutions using the mod, then add them to the Batch Render queue . The mod will ensure they render at the correct size automatically, saving you from manually configuring settings in the batch list.
