[req] display period

[pixie]

When one start rendering, it's not always obvious what the final rendering looks like, so one sets the display period to low so that one doesn't have to took long to realize that an error was made, if the scene got cooked right then one uses longer display times so that not much time is wasted on rendering it.

My suggestion would be a dynamic range where user could input the min and max display period length so that at first it indigo would display on shorter times but if let cook long enough those times would then become bigger until they reach the max value set.

Look in your ini - or was that cut? I don't think so...

Indigo's ini? I don't see it anywhere. Cindigo set the display period I want, but when I'm tweaking the scenes I want a shorter period for the reasons above, and if all goes good I have to shut it down and set an higher value..

oh, you mean a dynamic way?
I see...
Ok, that doesn't exist yet^^ - would generally be interesting for more of the settings... Also an adaptive way (per material) of different rendersettings would be interesting, if the calculations for this wouldn't take too much time... (Or also, which is needed here, a manual dynamic tweaking...)

You can still stop and resume the scene, hand edit the value in-between.

I thought that as values are different indigo would complain... still it's a solution

For this problem Pixie, I do a test render in the GUI to see how it looks, then if all is good I restart the render in console version for maximum efficiency.
