Hi! I want to see updates in render region when I change material parameters. Render region don't want to autoupd. It works only when I move geometry or press re-render.
Thanks

There was a feature in H8 called IPR which did this and more…alas due to time constraints it didn't make it into H9. There's an outstanding req for it.

Cheers,

I agree though that despite IPR not being there, the auto-update of the render viewer is broken. It auto-updates maybe one in 10 times.

not only is render region somewhat broken, but it also tends to make interaction with the software quite sluggish when it is on. This is on an 8 core win 64 bit machine.

Also it never seems to update when changing parameters or wiring in vops, in which would be nice to get a realtime update.

I've always just ended up repeatedly doing mplay renders, as it just seems more stable.

Take a look as XSI's render region, it's quite a good implementation.
