no bitmap preview

[mitviz]

You mean in the viewports? Or something else?

Best regards,
Vlado

yes in the viewport, i already increased the viewport bitmap preview res to 30k and for a test i have both the hdri and regular loader ported into the diffuse map slot to check it on the fly, is there an option in the hdri loader for better viewport preview? i would make a small video or so to show but that will have to be in the next half hour maybe

Here we go, hope this is good enough

interesting, i wonder if anyone has seen better render times or anything similar, that would be nice

Actually I might have been wrong: http://forums.chaosgroup.com/showthr...ws-down-render might be a bug too.

EDIT: I was too hasty. It renders just as fast it seems.

ahh, good you took the time to test it, for me now it seems the issue is with using large res images with the hdri loader, i posted a video below, it can't display the images as is in the viewport, so i guess then other than using it for loading hdr.exr. etc images there is no real benefit to using it over the regular bitmap loader for regular bitmaps?

Have you tried increasing the "Baked Procedural Maps" resolution in the viewport configuration?
