Thea Render Revision 446

[Javadevil]

I vote render region as coolest new feature. To render a high res final in quadrants I assume there is post processing to do? Would be cooler to stay in studio but I am grateful for this as is. Just in time for an important project.

+1 render region ROCKS !! It can save many hours of rendering

I believe that stitching is all you have to do. We will add this option as well.

Yes, region rendering is very important, especially for users (still) with 32 bit OS (and therefore less memory allocated to applications). This way, theoretically we tripled the export size (well, actually it is 9x megapixel-wise). Now let me see if my image editor can handle a 15000x15000 pixel image!

This is parametric, you can break the image in as many parts as you like. Currently, rendering by parts can be done only manually though.

Thanks Giannis! I thought you might.

There is just those 3x3 grid options in the render window however - or have I missed something?

[imodel]

3x3 grid, where is this? Render region is third option under start render. Checkbox to activate.

[Gaieus]

Well, this is what I get there (maybe it's the SU2Thea exporter's "rule of thirds"?)



(For God's sake, why cannot we upload images in certain areas of the forums?)

Oh, I see now. Great! Can input your own parameters too! That's better than coordinates.

Exactly!

It says there "Part (1,1):(3,3)", etc. This can be taken as an example, i.e. render top-left part of a 3x3 grid. You could change this to "Part (1,1):(4,4)", etc. (it is editable) which would mean render top-left part of a 4x4 grid. The good thing with this alternative, is that you leave Thea compute automatically the region on whatever resolution you change the camera.

Render by parts could be accomplished currently with a small script that changes the part for the camera, renders and saves image part. I won't go into details, since we are going to take care of this soon.
