Auto adjust bucket size when rendering Preview Resolution

Hi Guys,

just a very small and easy request...when i set a "test resolution" in mayas renderview i would like to the bucket size to be adjusted accordingly...do you think this would be possible?

thx

+1 would love to have this too!

You want the bucket size to be relative to the resolution, right?

Probably you can do this already with a pre-render script.

i have attached a screenshot....

Okay, but what do you want to happen with the bucket size? You want it to scale automatically to 25% of the one in the settings?

Exactly....i know one could do that with a preRender MEL but i think since you already take the testResolution into account while exporting it would be easy to adjust the bucket size accordingly...

+1 good idea, we were just talking about this the other day

+1, also it would be marvellous if the bucket size would also be reduce when rendering a region.
I usually end up with 1 bucket rendering when I check a small region on my render.

thanks,

Yannick

This would be great.

I have to keep several bucket sizes (4x4, 8x8, 16x16, etc) mapped on a shelf to work around this quality of life issue.

OK,
I've added both feature requests on our TODO, so watch out for them in the release notes

Best regards,
