Separate defaults for the two rendering modes (interactive vs production)

I did try searching for this but couldn’t find anything.
Would it be possible to implement 2 discrete sets of settings for each of the rendering options?

To save a lot of time continually changing settings between production and interactive settings it would be nice to set “defaults/or session parameters” for a production render and then a different set of “defaults/ sessionparameters” for an interactive render, which is to say when doing an interactive render, clicking on that interactive button would: a. use a lower resolution (set by user), b. use the progressive render option and any other settings etc the user chooses. Then when clicking a full production render it would use what has been set for that by the user: a. higher resolution output. b. uncheck the progressive option etc.
Currently going backwards and forwards between these modes currently requires a lot of settings adjustments that might otherwise be easily automated.

Thanks​

Hi @liam_hardie ​,

Thank you for the suggestion.
We’ve done something similar with the Denoiser in V-Ray 7.
The resolution is something we could also address - giving you a percentage slider for interactive rendering for example.
The Progressive toggle doesn’t affect Interactive at all. Even if you production render using buckets, IPR will still work in progressive mode.

I see, that’s maybe not been clear to me then.
So there are 4 options to how render ( without counting the sub categaory options within each):

interactive render with progressive off
interactive with progressive on
render (production) with progressive off
render (production) with progressive on

So in interactive mode it doesn’t matter if the progressive slider is on or off?, so is it better to always leave that on?, so what would be the benefits/use case of turning it off?

So I guess it’s a resolution issue as my desire would be to have a one click “production render” option that will render full resolution for final output, and an interactive render that uses a lower resolution and so would be faster feedback, so not having to re-enter the resolution going back and forth between them.
