How to prevent 'Buckets' from wasting time on rendering pure White or Black background

[Joelaff]

Been in this business for over 30 years and I still learn new things and new ways to do things all the time. It’s a little annoying when you realize It’s been under your nose for ages, but it’s still nice to find better ways to do things.

Of course this still might not help your specific case, but there is a good chance it will.

With you there for sure. I've used Max since 1994, before it was owned by Autodesk and the Yost Group owned it as 3d Studio. Yost is still around and active. I ran across him just last year. I'm glad I was able to make a living using the software these genuises came up with. And like you, each day I learn a new trick or discover one I forgot about. I've never gotten bored with my profession and have no plans to retire anytime soon.
