Title: New Frame buffer
Post by: Ondra on 2013-01-21, 00:25:38

I've implemented new Virtual frame buffer in the multiplatform library wxWidgets. It will replace the current custom VFB in next alpha release. It will be also used in the standalone version and when porting to other applications, and it will be easy to add for example render region or paint focus functionality to it.

The window on right with statistics is optional (off by default, can be turned on/off with the stats button)

btw, any chance to make some crop rendering with Corona ?? The common 3dsmax settings to set the area to render seems simply ignored ... so, maybe a good idea to add that in Corona VFB at least, what do you think ?

Thanks.

Is it possible to render buckets follow mouse pointer?
Still it would be nice to allocate refinement areas.

Is possible have the post processing tab in the VFB? Control the exposure, highlight compression, white balance... directly on the VFB without have to open the render setup panel.
