Title: CorC4D Viewport Selection
Post by: Flamingo on 2017-08-15, 16:47:59: Hello C4D Community,

when I activate Viewport Selection (General Settings) and my geometry, that has to be changed with another material, changing the material, and start render, the whole image starts from the begining to render and not only the changed object or material.
Ist this a bug, or do I something wrong?

https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,15819.msg100073.html#msg100073 made me believe that there are some spots in Corona for C4D where future features are already implemented into the GUI but not yet working.

I think the idea for non-active features to grey out is a very good idea, because it is a bit frustating, to test, looking in the forum, spend a lot of time and so on, without any result.
This feature of Viewport selection ist very very useful and a brilliant idea.
I do like Corona very much.

Post by: houska on 2017-08-16, 13:33:43: It does make sense to grey-out features that don't work yet. This situation only happened, because we wanted to finalize the UI before making shots of it and thus we included even planned features that might not fully work yet. We'll think about greying the non-functional stuff out...
