    Not only a lifesaver but an excellent productivity tool and an extender of what you can do with your hardware. For example, I had an object that had high details on it that was causing the famous "out of GPU memory" headache. So I rendered the scene with the detail on that object turned off. Then I rendered just the small area that had all the detail as PNGs with the rest of the frame transparent using this tool and composited those frames over the full frames. Job done!! This should be part of Blender out of the box!

    Exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely worth the price. Happy to see that it still works in Blender 4.0!

    Hi I have a question, there is no version for blender 3.0 or 3.1?

      Hi, Sorry for the confusion. The version of the add-on that works for 2.80 will work for any version of Blender after 2.79, including the 3.0+ series. I will make this clearer in the product information file that comes with the add-on.

      (By the way, generally you should ask a question via the 'Ask a Question' button on the product page as I can only reply to reviews once.)

      Hope this helps,

      Ray.

    Really good addon! I've used it to render huge still images in pieces. This way I can avoid problems if render crashing in some parts. It also make it easily to render in pieces. Just use keyframe method and put different border values to every keyframes. Thanks for creating this.

    This is truly one of the smartest and most thoughtful addons ever. A really really huge lifesaver.

    My only note on why I didn't give 5 stars: when the tracked object leaves the camera view, the border tries to see it and draws a border anyways. It's an edge case and usually not an issue. I ran into this edge case with a group of objects, and so I had to manually keyframe the render border (also a feature of the addon!).
    Otherwise, it saves me lots of time as a VFX artist! Very simple and easy to use.

      Hi, thanks for the feedback. I guess a solution would be to try and generate blank images for frames where the objects are completely outside the camera view. I'll have to see if that is possible.

      Feel free to use the 'Create Message' button to the right or contact me at RayMairlot@gmail.com if you have any further ideas about how this feature could work.

      Ray.
