Nice to play this "Border Render" ,it stills wait to a damm to render ,
but at last only the part i want to check .

Render Simplification not tested ,but to my pre configuration ,
those features is what i want to see on the render test .
High: Subsurf,Ambient Occlusion and Shadow Samples .

What is a powerfull fast computer to fast render these full features and complex scenes,
only for the thought when i imaginate waiting the render …..

Oh and even if it looks amazing ,iam not that good .But its for what im giving a try .

Thanks .

Excellent tips! I want to see more of those little "forgotten" gems.

It would be so nice to get real proper OpenGL preview rendering, especially for animations. With current Game Engine advances this can get pretty useful, but at the moment the OpengGL rendering doesn't really do a good job (for e.g. object centers, rigs. get drawn, world settings get ignored, no subdivisions, etc.). It would be nice to push the results closer to what the internal render does.

Great stuff, Kernon! Thanks! I had no idea about the temporary Mats and Lights options. That's nice.
