RenderThrottle3Delight is also more than just a Render preset manager as it also can drive critical quality controls on UberEnvironmnent lights.

RenderThrottle provides 4 customizable, and sharable render quality presets. The RenderThrottle options interface gives you control over what settings the given preset will affect. RenderThrottle can be made to only drive global render options, UberEnvironment specific options or both.

You can use the presets here, but installing Custom Actions allows you to have easy access to RenderThrottle.

  1. Double-click !RenderThrottle 3Delight !Install Actions Script
  2. You will see new icons in the Render menu and Main ToolBar.

Troubleshooting

Install actions does not work

RT is a plugin and as such needs to be installed for each version of DS that you are running

Where are the toolbar buttons?

If the install runs successfully and the RT actions appear in the Render menu, make sure you toolbar is not hidden:
