Title: Render Save
Post by: jaf on February 02, 2008, 08:24:44 PM
Hi -- new to TG2.

I was wondering if there's a way to stop (save) a long render, exit TG2, and then pick up the render at another time?  Or is this a feature that is planned?

Like a resume rendering option? That would be nice and handy.

There has been talk about resume, but I'm not sure when or if it it might be implemented.

A stop-save-resume feature is not yet available, although of course you can pause renders and for example go into Hibernate mode if you need to turn your PC off for a time (to wait out a passing storm for example). Creating a "resume" feature is a bit difficult, so it's not planned to be supported in the very near future, but it's definitely something of interest and we hope it will be possible in the future.
