Progressive Render
This options applies during normal renders only. It does not apply to Live Render (IPR), which is a separate rendering technique progressive in nature (and allowing interactive manipulation). For normal renders, when this toggle is turned on, the rendering rapidly starts with a noisy image and refines it progressively until completed. Progressive Render has a slight overhead and may increase render time in the order of 5-10%.
| Warning |
|---|
When using Progressive Render, the Filter Type and Filter Width attributes (specified in the Quality group of Render Settings) are ignored. A Box filter with a width of 1 is used instead. Also images rendering with this option may contain more noise / fireflies. Because of this, these images may differ slightly from your final renders using Maya Batch (remember that when using Maya Batch, progressive is ignored). Make sure to deactivate Progressive Render when rendering final frames. |
Viewing Apps
The first section of this tab contains the Render View option for selecting the window (and application) in which image layers will be displayed on screen during rendering. See Image Layers (AOVs). It can be either the Maya Render View, 3Delight Display or Custom Frame Buffer. When this last option is selected, the render view used for rendering is specified through the 3deliht.config file. 3Delight Display is used by default.
