vladimir,

i have need of a faux (false) results component. i often copy large segments of a filter into another filter or into a new filter. and i often want to see a side by side comparison of the existing filter with the copied parts. but, on a surface filter, there is no way to completely do that, since those often have other things plugged into the reflectivity, reflective blur and so on.

what i need is a component which would display in the preview box of the component and in the preview window of the editor, the exact same results as the normal results component for a surface filter, but is simply not the true results component. it would just be for show, for preview, for comparison with the real thing and would ONLY work within the editor.

i've wanted something very similar to this - a 'non-final' or 'in-line' results component, one which compiles all the nodes attached to it, but has an output of its own. with this, we could produce a surface with lighting etc, then keep working with it. it'd be like stacking filters within FF.

oh, and it would let kraellin preview!

hadnt even thought of putting an output on it, garbanzo, but that would be pretty incredible.
