V-Ray Irradiance Map Problem

[psone]

hi guys,

I'm running Max 2009 and Vray 1.5. My problem is I've been precalcing the IR Map for an 1100 frame Animation using multi incremental at every 5th frame. Unfortunatly max crashed about an hour ago at frame 875, however the IR Map had saved itself upto the point i was at.

 

So what i'm wondering is, is there anyway to add to what i have using incremental add to current, or should i just calc a new map for the remaining frames and stich it all together after render? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks in advance!

Keep adding to it, or to be super safe, back up the IRR and then continue to inc. add to it.

Hey Mulf,

Thanks for the advice, what i've decided to do is continue calcing from where it left off and then merge the IR maps at the end, mainly because i couldn't figure out how to load the IR map back into memory to add to it, which was a bit of a pain really because the first couple of frames took forever to calc. Hopefully it'll work out and thanks again.
