Cycles Cut-Away Preview

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Maybe this has been asked a million times already but…

Back in the day.
Using Blender 2.49 you could select a square area in you scene and make a render preview of just the selected area.
What are the options in Cycles?

Tired of rendering a whole scene to see my editing.
View port rendering is not exactly what I’m looking for.
Looking for more of a section of the camera view.

Ctrl-B, drag a rectangle around the area you want rendered.

If you know 2.49 then you obviously know border rendering. It’s just like that but visible in the 3d viewport. Both for cycles and the blender render

Thanks everyone. I knew it had to be there someplace.
