It would be nice if the material dialog for each Rendering software would show a sphere that would update with material changes. I imagine this would be a major task and would take many hours, assuming it would be possible.
Playing with procedural textures (Marble, Clouds, Musgrave, etc) with YafaRay can be very frustrating, since you have to render in order to know if the texture changes made gives the desired results.
In OpenFX there is a "Render" command, which will render the scene using the settings used in the last render. This is a one click render command. If the user wants to modify the settings he/she uses the "Render Setup" command.
