Does progressive rendering give better antialising?

not really, progressive rendering is not aimed at rendering a final image.

You need to see it more like a upgraded IPR letting you tweek your lights, materials, etc faster
because you get a low res result faster than with regular IPR or a preview render.

Plus as oppose to regular IPR or render, you would render in low wuality for tweeking ..then set the quality higher and do a preview render to see a final result...

With progressive rendering you don't have to tweek render settings that much... the first 2 or 3 passes are always low quality...if you want to see a high quality result...you just let it run a few pass.

Hope this makes sense

So Is it pretty much like how modo does the preview rendering?

Can someone upload the updated ver. 1.1 script here? The link in the original post seems not working due to the major overhaul of highend3d.com.

Thanks.

Just awsome and usefull script. Thanks!

In maya x64 the renderer goes back to the default rendering process if Final Gather is checked under Secondary effects of the Rendering Features Render Settings Panel. and also if GI is checked things act up....
What is the ideal scenario this is good for, as some scenes simply render quicker with regular ipr? Would be cool if I could navigate my scene in the ipr window... may take some tom foolery but its totally possible, even if its just trickying the curser position on my screen lol. But really is this possible?
And is there a way to get IPR to utilize my network processors?

Cool, this is going to be very useful.

[satmareancatalin]

hey there i have bin using the script but for what ever reason when i want to save the render to any image format it over wrights the the file name and ads the iff extension
for example <filename>.bmp.iff
is there anyway to get this fixed?

thanks
