Indigo Renderer Forum

If you want to compute a single image for a long time its ok like that, but in some cases you want the image to be calculated up to the halt point, not only the log, got me ?

Indigo can save the image when it is manually exited (IIRC... or not ?) but not when an halt limit is reached, it's a non-sense. I already did a similar request but definitly at a certain point you want the image cooked not Indigo killed

Thx Ono !

It does seem silly to save (and tonemap) the image every n seconds with a halt time.

well sometimes there are crashes and whatnot, specially if you are using a test build (e.g. .9t4 )

I think the image and tonemap should be saved, like, every time a quarter of the halt samples have been reached(e.g when you ask for 100 mut/pixels, then every 25 it gets saved)

just my $0.02

I agree with CTZn.

If lightning kills your UPS after numerous hours of rendertime, you are back to square one.

wait, what?
you are kinda agreeing with me but with ctzn, thats kinda contradictory...?

Can we agree that this is a problem with... ALL tasks that take a non-trivial amount of time?

Yes, this is very reasonable, will add to TODO list.

I second that. The buffer must be saved by reaching halt time or halt samples per pixel.
