The tool overrides all your material, shadow and render settings while rendering and then restores the previous settings after the preview is rendered. This allows you to render quick previews without having to go through all materials to set lower subdivs etc.
Download: http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~jylila...eviewRender.ms
Download (Macroscript): http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~jylila...viewRender.mcr
Requirements: VRay 1.5 SP 1 or later.
Instal: Save BerconPreviewRender.ms file to your maxscript folder and run it. It automaticly creates ini file where all the settings are stored to that same folder.
Update: To update from previous version to the newest simply override the old file. After this you need to reset your presets, do this by starting the script, right-clicking anywhere in the dialog and select Reset presets->Reset
Note: If you want to assign BerconPreviewRender to toolbar as a button you'll need the Macroscript. Run it once, then go to Customize->Customize User Interface->Toolbars tab->Category: Bercon->Open Bercon Preview Render. You can drag'n'drop it to any toolbar in max. Also note that you still need also the first file for it to work.
Using it is simple, run the script and the preview render dialog (in the picture) pops up. You can select preset settings by right clicking Render preview button or individually for each category by clicking the category button. VrayPreviewRender only overrides the settings you've selected (yellow buttons, visible settings). So you can choose only to set lower subdivs for materials and leave everything else untouched for example.
Just to make it clear, it doesn't alter any settings permanently, just for the render time and only when you start the render from Render Preview button.
Please post any bug reports and improvment suggestions here.
