Hi,

I really like the new “Render in background” feature of geometry ROPs. Turns out that the ropnet variant can be abused to render entire ROP networks in the background (see image: if I press the Render in Background button on the Geometry ROP, the entire upstream network will be rendered as well).

This would be a very useful feature to “officially” have (unless it's there already and only I'm not aware of it?) Right now the above trick works even if all fields of the Geometry ROP are empty (no SOP node and/or no output file given).

What do you think?

cheers,
