proxy texture maps
I need to create some small strutures accuately aligned to a mapped hires texture. Is it possible to up the displayed proxy texture in the viewport? having to keep re-rendering the area where I’m working is a real pain.
Also what about a ‘repeat the last render’ command like the one Max has, does that exist anywhere in C4D?
Thanks again for help.

Select the texture tag in the Object Manager. Go to the Illumination tab under the texture attributes and choose the 1024×1024 setting under the Texture Preview Size dropdown list.
As far as a “repeat last render” choice, as long as you don’t change the settings in the Render Settings dialog there’s no need for such a script. Simply re-render the scene. Or, if you have R9.5 you can save the Render Settings as a preset, enabling you to choose the preset from a drop down listing.

Have a look at the 10 comm plugin from Paul Everett, it features a Show Last Render option, as well as a window in which you can load 2 renderings to compare differences.
I remember that Max has an option that re-renders only modified parts of the image if the rest of the view remains the same, right? That would be nice.

Thanks Todd, in fact I found it about five minutes after posting. Pook!
Yes jean-pierre, it’s the repeat last partial render that I was after. I’ll check out the plugin, thanks

Ahh. I see what the idea is. Yes, being able to re-render a scene where it just calculates the altered areas would be nice.
It also would be nice if C4D could have a render region that stayed active like in XSI, and each time you made a change in settings or camera angle it re-rendered the region. Or even like Maya’s, where you render to a viewer and it re-renders with each change as well.

Do you think there’s any chance of being able to do this with a script?

Send a request to Maxon, they are quite responsive to user requests.
