Thank you, both.

Personally I would simply correct black spots in post prod.

That's what I would do too, if it wasn't for a contest that emphasizes on avoiding post processing. At least, that's my take on it...

It often pays to restart before an important render and always save before a render.

Once bitten... That's standard MO.

I don't think blotting out a few pixels will be a problem, as judges can compare the raw output anyway and judge the amount of post. Too much post and you're work is dumped

Finally, after 206:34:21, the render has finished...

Beautiful!

Thank you, Kexikus!

Holy Crap, 8 1/2 days rendering...IMHO that render is well worth the wait/time spent...

I don't see this as a problem Andy. If its just a s quick clone stamp you will be ok

Great job! Congrats on no interruptions on the render! Did you have to disconnect from the internet and hide you work station to avoid that?

[AndyWelder]

Thank you, Bobby and luvsmuzik!
@ Danny: I'm happy with the way the workaround turned out so no need for any corrections.

No, just close the door to my bomb shelter and cross my fingers. Feels weird being able to use them again now the render has finished
