<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>In the 3D viewport the 'OpenGL render active viewport' buttons provide a very fast way to output a preview image or movie. Using Blender Internal and GLSL shading it is possible to output some very good looking images in almost no time.<BR> <BR>For Cycles users, could a similar function be provided when using the viewport's Cycles preview render (Shift+Z), by capturing the viewport image? This function would allow users to save high quality, but very fast, Cycles preview renders just like saving OpenGL renders. This would be incredibly useful for providing samples to end customers so they can see the overall look of an animation in Cycles quality, without having to wait hours for a full F12 render to finish.<BR> <BR>Nick<BR> <BR> <BR> </div></body>
