The second-to-last rendering is done while the interactor is still in
an interactive state, and will therefore possibly be at a lower
resolution/level-of-detail for volume rendering, or for level of detail
actors. (Fast, interactive speed renderings, but possibly of lower
quality...)
The last rendering, issued during the StopState call, is made after the
interactor is taken out of its interactive state, and will therefore be
a full rendering, at highest level of detail. (Best quality rendering
possible, but might be much slower...)
If you are not taking advantage of any fast interactive renders with
any actors in your scene, then you will not appreciate the difference.
But for those of us who use the level of detail functionality, with
lower quality fast renderings when interacting, and higher quality
slower renderings when not interacting, *both* Render calls are
definitely required.
