Thank you Hans! The syntax is exactly what I was looking for. (pass.CropWindow/etc). I have been playing with setting a pass crop region from the renderRegion, it works ok for what I need today, but I'll be able to write up a nice script now with this syntax. -Robert

At the same time, I feel keeping the last post (and trimming the rest) is ideal. Sometimes if people trim completely and many trimmed replies come in at different times, it's hard to realise who was replying to what comment. WIth at least 1 response below it for context, it's a lot easier to

the most succinct response is only to quote the original section you are directly responding to. If I trim the lot rather than just the last mail it is clear I am not only responding to the last person's email, but in general to the thread, that is all. but yes it has been very messy of late and

Seems like Redshift's (motion blur) is implemented long before Otoy did ;) *Octane 1.5 supports native render time motion blur for the camera animation only. Future versions are going to full support native motion blur at render time for objects transformations and deformations* *Redshift

I saw the Form 1 in depth at Siggraph last year. For desktop printers under $5,000 USD, it's definitely the best quality printer. It's the only stereo lithography printer available at that price and can print with at least 4x better / finer resolution than the extrusion based printers such as
