Hi there,
It seems that I often run into the situation where I have made some light position and shader changes to a (mostly raytraced) scene that I have several lights with shadowmaps.
Often I want to invoke a new render that also will generate shadowmaps. Right now to avoid lags, you have to lock the IPR viewer, click “Clear IPR cache” and then Ctrl-Click on the render button. Too many clicks. It would be useful to have a “Clear Cache & Regen Shadowmaps On Next Render” kinda thing - like a “Clear All”.
If you have large scenes this becomes quite important. Also possibly a toggle somewhere to configure if you want “Always Generate Shadowmaps”.
And! As for hotkeys, I've bound “r” to render, “c” to “Clear Cache”, “l” to lock and Esc to Interrupt. This pane could use defaults like this.
And and! Could the Ctrl-Click to generate shadowmaps and render please be split into another button so that we can hotkey that - to maybe “R”.
RFE: IPR - need a "Clear IPR Cache & Shadowmaps&quo
