Hello,

couldnt find anything in the forum, so heres my question.
I would like to create a shortcut to start a new render instead of going thorugh render -> start render -> mantra. How can I do that? I cant find “start render” anywhere in the Hotkey Manager.

Is it correct, that in the renderview only the raytracer is available and the micropolygon renderer is only available in MPlay?

In the Scene View pane, there's a render button at the very button at of the left vertical toolbar. To easily assign a hotkey to this button, press and hold down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT while clicking on it.

Not quite. In the Render View, only ray tracing is performed. However, if you render using a render node, then both is available.

Thank you edward
