Hopefully it should be easy to fix the bug but until
fixed can cause a big headache for some computers.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Bug...</span><br></div><div>In the 'Outliner' the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">real time display</span>' <span style="font-style:italic;">(eye
icon)</span> and '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">during rendering</span>' <span style="font-style:italic;">(camera icon)</span> toggle buttons are correctly assigned to both Viewport render and F12 final render,<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> t</span><span style="font-weight:bold;">he bug is in the 'Object Modifiers' section</span>, where '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">the real time display</span>' <span style="font-style:italic;">(eye icon)</span> toggle button and settings are being assigned to both Viewport render and F12 final render, the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">during rendering</span>' <span style="font-style:italic;">(camera icon)</span> toggle button and settings are being ignored in the F12 final render.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason it can cause a headache for some...</div><div>If several large meshes have a high setting Subdivision Surface modifier
applied, it can speed up Viewport navigation/editing on older computers by having the Subsurf set to a low setting <span style="font-style:italic;">(say 1-2)</span> for the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">View</span>' and a higher setting <span style="font-style:italic;">(3-4 or above)</span> for the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">Render</span>'. At the moment the <span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">'Render'</span> setting is being ignored.<br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Easy to Reproduce the Bug...</span><br></div><div>Open a recent Cycles build, using the default Cycles test scene, go to the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">Object Modifiers</span>' section, set the Subsurf '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">View</span>' setting to = 0 <span style="font-style:italic;">(zero),</span> then press F12 for a final render. Even though the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">Render</span>'
setting still = 2, the Subsurf is not applied in an F12 final render, only the '<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 191);">View</span> setting works for both Viewport and F12.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope this clearly explains the problem, please feel free to ask any questions.</div><div>Looking forward to your reply.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for the fantastic Blender program and Cycles development, also to Thomas (DingTo) for your great Cycles builds!</div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>David Black<br><br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update:</span><br>Checked the most recent build (41044) and the problem is still present.<br></div></div></div></div><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
