Thea Render Revision 446

aha... so the engine works faster if it needs to work on smaller areas...
This looks like the vray engine when its clearing the image.
You see this thingy moving across the screen clearing the image while its rendering.

But when using tr1 or tr2 you really need to wait for the grain/noise to clear or else you get a weird image with spots allover the image!!! im i right??

It can save many hours of rendering

Please explain Duncan. I see how we can do more with the hardware we have. Would like to know how we can save time too? Thanks!

Theres times when I've rendered the final frame and there's a vase or books or something and client tells me they don't like the colour or shape or whatever.
Now for me to render the entire frame is going to take time, to render just the region where the books or vase is a hell of lot quicker

cheers

That's clever! So its best to save that *.img file so you can load that back in and easily make your section render

You don't have to load the *.img file.
Just make sure that you have the same darkroom settings so when you bring your region into photoshop it matches. I normally make the region a bit bigger and feather the edges a little for a seemless blend.

oke... perhaps we need a settings export option. I make screen shots now every time i change something for a different shot

[EscapeArtist]

Wonderful. Region render has been something I have wished for repeatedly when fine tuning a small area in a scene. Thank you!

[Gaieus]

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.

Oh cool, I did not notice that (yet).

I did not even think about this aspect yet. Even better and I like this feature more and more now!

(I also had occasions when only a little piece of my image was screwed up).
