Re: RenderRegion AntiAliasing now linked with Ray Depth?

["Wayne Williams" <wayne.williams(at)theorphanage.com>]

Having it just adjust the min/max samples of the aliasing is what most folks were thinking it did I believe...at least that's what I thought anyways.  I use the slider all the time and hope it's a feature you guys don't drop. I guess if folks wanted the option to toggle what it actually did do would be cool but more work obviously. I'd be fine with it just affecting aliasing only.

Ok. Seeing the massive discontent with the slider all around, how would you folks want it to work? Everyone seems to just flame it but I don?t see anything constructive or suggestions to an alternative behavior.

it has always increased sampling in a way i dont want it to. whatever the situtation is. so i avoid the slider too...

now that it increases everything else. i probably will avoid it more

I never use that slider anyway, it does stuff that makes no sense.
