I tested the functionality of my add-ons in new Blender 2.79.
Add-ons remains compatible with Blender 2.78.
Add-on Accurate Render Border v. 0.0.2 update.
Checkbox “Width/Height” added. It allows to switch input mode between “left-top border corner coordinates – right-bottom border corner coordinates” and “left-top border corner coordinates – border width and height”.
Blender add-on allows setting accurate coordinates for render border.
After add-on installation in T-bar additional “ARB” tab appears. On this tab, it’s possible to set accurate values for left-top and right-bottom render border corners coordinates in pixels. Coordinates establish relative to the render size (Properties — Render — Dimensions — Resolution). After pressing the “Set Accurate Render Border” button render border determines in accordance with the entered values.
Add-on is free and open-source. If you want to support it – you can buy the add-on for a convenient price, or set the price to 0 to download it for free.
