[Bf-committers] RE: J Key - Spare Render

[Doug Ollivier]

The best solution IMO (a temporary/ quick increase in spare renders 
would be great) would be a full flip-book type interface for rendered 
images,  toggle flip-book on/off button which expands or contracts the 
interface.

options of keeping all rendered "still frame" images in buffer.  showing 
in chronological order these images, being able to delete certain images 
from the book etc....

Further enhancements would be each render being able to store settings 
of things like lighting, OSA.... so you could just copy and paste these 
settings back into blender, if for example you stuffed something up....

These are of course advanced features, but in the mean time a simple 
increase of number of images, and perhaps a good way to show these 
images existing is all that is needed.

A flip-book may also tie in well with a f-prime style renderer.

the debate is always between simplicity and options, a simple and to the 
point method which looks great, works great and doesn't need a manual is 
always better than heaps of features.
