Is there a way to 'remember' a camera position?

I'm working in a model, and I would like always to return to the same camera view, to see how it looks.
Something similar to push the 'K' key, but customized.
Does it make sense?
Is that possible?
Thank you

The easiest way is to add a camera with that view and the check lock camera (I'm not in front of iClone so I don't know the exact term).

You would then use the Preview camera to move around your model as needed after which you select the camera you added for your static view.

It would be useful to have an Aux Camera for that purpose as Poser does, but my suggestion is the best we can do.

BTW, you can also save a specific camera position.

I'm using only CC3, is that feature available in this software?

In CC3 there is no direct way to add a camera and then switch between that one and another.

There is a workaround, not very elegant but usable. Set your scene up exactly as you want it to be. In the Content manager tab navigate to "Stage Elements" > Camera > Custom. Click on the + at the lower part of the panel  This will add you camera setup to this folder, just make sure to give it a meaningful name for reuse. You can now reposition your camera as often as you need and save each setup under a different name. Now you can navigate around the scene to make adjustments to the character and return to one of your saved camera settings for rendering, or whatever.

If anything isn't clear post your questions here. :cool::)

No problem!!! Thanks for your help anyway, maybe I would need Iclone after all.
