SJD Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi all where is the 'set image size' option for raytrace renders in v8? (so a defined area can be rendered) it is still there looking at the online manual (but I guess this is an older version?) thanks in advance steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJD Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 thanks I think I preferred the old tick box to be honest - I nearly always have it checked whilst working on a project and only go for a full render once I'm satisfied (seems a shame it's no longer there) is it still not possible to render a portion of a scene at the set resolution of the final image? I would find that option incredibly useful for when small amends have to be made to a finished high res render Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 +1 for rendering small parts of the scene in final resolution! thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi Steve, Yes, the RenderArea Rectangle option is a little different from Set Image Size, but achieves the same purpose. We will see if we can add an option for this to be able to render at full resolution for when a portion of an image needs to be edited. Choose Manual from the Help Menu (or right click on any tool) to open the current online manual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 thanks Tech is there a reason why the check box was removed? this method seems like a step back - not sure how others work but I have this checked pretty much permanently while I am working on a design. I tend only to render the parts I need to see - I can see this being cumbersome in v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi Steve, Unfortunately, in order to accommodate other changes we made to v7 and 8, it was not possible to keep that option exactly as it was. My initial reaction was the same as yours, but as I got used to it, it is "almost" as good as that other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 thanks Tech I'm sure I'll discover the wealth of other features will more than make up for it but if you do ever get chance in the future..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
