Hey yall, I’ve made an addon inspired by ZBrush’s thumbnail view. This will let you sync individual viewports together such that they will have the same view in real time. Please let me know what you think and if you encounter any bugs. You can grab it from my Github here
Features
Can selectively sync viewports together via a toggle-able button in the header region
Only the view is synced, everything else can be configured independently as usual
i.e. two viewports can be sync where one displays wireframe while the other displays material preview
Works in all Object Modes
Three sync modes for viewports with sync enabled:
Sync all viewports in the same window
Sync all viewports in the same workspace (also syncs other open windows with a 3d viewport)
Sync all viewports in the blend file, which will work across workspaces
Performance Toggles:
Pause sync on all viewports
Don’t sync during playback
Don’t sync viewports in camera view
Syncing Viewports in the same window
Syncing Viewports in the same workspace
Known Minor Issue: If a viewport is syncing and it enters quad view, all quad view settings will be set to false.
Ahh I wasn’t aware that addon already existed. Thanks for showing me.
From a glance at Michael’s source code, it is specifically designed to sync only the largest viewport across workspaces, and has more fine control over what settings to sync across what workspace. Meanwhile my addon has more fine control over exactly which viewport to sync and works within the same workspace in real time, but not much else.
