Using IR Map for cancelled render

[Geoffc]

(just posted this at chaos too, but Im in a big ol hurry this morn)

 

 

If I cancel a rendering half way thru its 3rd pass on IR calcs, can I hit save on the IR map rollout and then use that saved map to render with?

I believe that the only way, is to copy the IR map while still rendering. Paste and rename, then either cancel or let the map finish. I think that when you cancel that the information is lost, due to the fact that it is holding previous frames in the memory. Merge Ir has worked in the past for me when maps have crashed or are canceled.

Yep you can do it but you might want to make sure it stops in a place that doesn't cause one bucket to be rendered with a noticeably better ir resolution than an adjacent bucket.
