Underwhelming release, but this doesn't surprise me anymore. I think I'll be surprised when I start to dig into the low-level crowd compounds. I think there is a lot of hidden potential than at first glance (accessing action source clips at specific frame through ice, for example, sounds good to me...

Well,it's hard to evaluate it by Eyeball method, but I think the large render region took approximately the same amount of time as the HQV did (2-3sec). Smaller region, faster rendering. However, it's all just guess work f...

Memag@ the video you post about HQV don't convince me at all, render region seems more fast (or similar speed) and quality is better. Of course the quality is better, it's a render region. As far as I get it, HQ viewport wasn't built to replace final renders (with instant result), but to help visua...
