Texture Baking View lets you preview render a specific portion of your scene so that you can get a feel for the changes you make as you shade, light, and texture objects.
Unlike rendering at a lower resolution, a process which reduces the size of the entire image, previewing a region can help you make changes more efficiently and quickly to the specific regions of interest at full resolution.
Tip:
If you turn on Auto Preview Region (Options > Auto Preview Region), the changes you make appear as you draw the marquee anywhere in Texture Baking View. Only the marqueed area of the surface re-renders showing the results of the adjustment.
To preview a region of your scene
- Marquee select the area that you want to render in Texture Baking View.
- If there is no representation of your scene in Texture Baking View for you to marquee select Preview > Snapshot > and select the camera (view) you want to capture.
- Click the Preview region button
