interactive render 2004-04-20 - By Ed Harriss

Personally, I always thought that (on the average) stopping the native Soft3D
renderer was much faster than stopping mental ray. Regardless of what software
you are using. But stopping an MR render in Soft3D always seems to take longer
than in XSI.

Is it just me or is stopping a render in XSI slower than
it used to be in soft? Seems soft stopped reasonbly quickly
but XSI takes much longer ....
