progressive rendering --> track mouse

[Art48]

Hear me out before you say "wtf?".
I love the progressive renderer, instantly I can see now how my scene looks.
There are times where I do want to have a full view yet I need to have some more iterations on a specific area to get dir of too much noise. Now wouldn't it be nice if I could enable mouse tracking and then have some kind of soft radius around my mouse (maybe linked to render size? don't know) where the progressive sampler focuses on?

Yes, already on the "to do" llist.

great idea!

[Macker]

Excellent idea, a "ray brush".

[hoppergrass]

similar to the Modo preview renderer, the way it resolves around the mouse

So Yavor actually managed to implement this (it was not that complicated, it seems), so hopefully we'll get it into a build soon.

Wonderful news. In time for the 2015 compatible release?

[vlado]

Hopefully, but we'll see.
