SHORT TITLE FOR SUGGESTION/BUG/ENHANCEMENT REQUEST
----------------------------------------------------------------

The frame buffer should have the ability to flip back through previous renders.

---------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST
---------------------------------------------------------------

I heard mention that lightwave once had an option that it stored all of your renderings in a working session within it's frame buffer. Then you could step back through your history to compare/reference previous working renderings.

It would be a temporary memory that you could dump to reclaim resources, and of course you would lose it when closing the file, but during an active session your history could be cached.

---------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS REQUEST IS IMPORTANT TO YOU
---------------------------------------------------------------

This could be useful when adjusting lighting and texture for comparing the quality/results. Basically you would have the ability to comparing renders within max instead of having to save out images to be flipped through in an external application.
