Wouldn't it be great if...

Feel free to add to this, I don't know if this is a thing and I'm just missing it but..

Wouldn't it be great if you can spot render two parts of the same image at once. I know some of you can set up multiple renders but I can't. I have to render one, wait and render again. When it's just a small render with a long load time it's so frustrating to have to do two or small spot renders.

    I loved that about Bryce. Quick fixer but generally spot renders go blazingly fast for me. I just get annoyed having to save, clear memory, open Daz back up, spot render, save, close Daz, rinse and repeat...

    if you do not have to constantly hover the searchbox with the mouse to write something into it

    really annoying for years in DS

    Wow, I don't have to do that at all. That is annoying! Yeah, the renders go fast but sometimes they take a little while to start. When you've got a few spots to rerender it get tedious. If you do them all in one go... Wow! :)

    Yeah, it's frustrating when you think you've clicked in the the search box, you start typing and your camera starts jumpimg all over, you really wish you'd locked your camera. :)

    OMG, that happens to me all the time! It drives me crazy. I start typing and for some reason the camera moves! I don't necessarily want to lock the camera though. Why does that happen???

    It only happens if you move the cursor downwards after clicking, move up or straight to the side and it sticks.

    ...you could directly import .3ds and .lwo meshes with materials into Daz without having to go through a modelling programme to do so.

    I never even use spot render. I pretty much have the iray interactive preview going most of the time.

    I'd love this as well!

    They recent improved the .obj material/texture import/export.

    What would be nice is if the render editor could handle opacity, it would be especially nice if you could spot render to an existing window.

    I know frustrating. It's when you think you've clicked into the box but Daz is wanting you to do do some tricks first. :) Then you start typing and hit letter keys that conrol the viewport. Personlly I never use the letter key shortcuts so I don't know what they are but it's the tilt ones that drive me nuts the most.

    DS came with a built-in feature to make pop-up graphics or icons bigger to your preferred scale so you can see them easily, even if the PA didn't do that.

    On the note of spot render, I'd love to be able to actually fine tune the selected area before the render started; the number of times I mis-guess where I need to click to get everything in, then have to wait to close the window and guess again (sometimes several times in a row) is particularly irritating.

    The render to window option is very useful for being able to redo parts of the image or focus the render on particularly areas of the image that need more samples than the rest (without having to render the entire image to do either).
