hello
how can I see the frustrum of my camera while working inside a sop network ?

You can use this to generate frustum geometry of your camera at the SOP context:

I'm really curious as to why displaying the camera frustum isn't an option on the camera node, can anyone shed light on why? I'm sure there's a good reason, but it just seems like such a logical option to me and it's weird that we have to create the frustum ourselves or use someone else's OTL.

To keep the display the frustum on-screen:

1. hover the cursor over camera and press ‘f’ key- or RMB -> Frustum Handle

2. then RMB on the Camera and check ‘persistent’

This locks the handle, i.e. frustum, on screen

Wow that's great, thank you!

thanks a lot!
