Wayne,
Well it was simply an observation. 4.2 was very smooth to work with, so I want to check out a few things with 5.0 before updating drivers or anything more drastic.

Hey Chris,
I'm getting just the opposite behavior for the render region in v5. It
cancels a lot faster for me than v3x-v4x. What system specs and flavor
of XSI are you running? WinXP32bit with certified card/drivers and 32bit
XSI|Advanced here. I concur about the annoyance of the x,y being greyed
out though. Just one more click added to the workflow there. A couple
other little annoyances are the lack of point light fall off cues (I
know, I know..there're scripts around...but this is v5! Come on now!),
as well as the TE not remembering the preferences set for UV wire color,
show polynode bisectors, etc. After saving a scene and reloading..these
are all set back to their defaults. Little things for sure but
irritating nonetheless. I'm sure that Soft will attend to these though.
Look at all the stuff they accomplished for us in 5 :)

1. It's irritating that in the render properties, the image resolution x

and y are greyed out unless the Custom picture standard is set. Maybe there's a preference somewhere?
2. The render region is much slower to cancel than in previous versions.


This could be a graphics card issue, but I've never had this before.

Other than those, it's a very good update.
Thank you
Chris
