Render starts all over again, every time.

Even tho i have Auto-Save turned off..

 

I made a screen capture of it:

 

Please help, it's so annoying.

What did you expect?

 

Every time you make a parameter change the render will start over. There is no preservation of previous pixels, think about it, what if you change reflection then you might complain that pixels aren't updated if Mantra did not work that way.

 

You can make a snapshot of a render before you make a parameter change and then compare the new render to a previous one without re-rendering the previous image. Use the camera icon in the render view then move the slider to compare.

Well he has Auto-Update off so that's the problem, it shouldn't start over.

Thanks for your response but if you watch my video you see i don't even get the chance to make a snapshot.

 

Found out that if i close the renderview and restart it en turn off Auto-Update immediately it doesn't do it.

But as soon as i have Auto-Update let re-render anything i can't stop this behaviour you see in the video.

Not with auto-render on and NOT making paramater changes and even not with auto-render off,

 

Well it's weird but i guess i'll have to live with it.
