Friendly heads-up

So my experience with RNDR so far has not been very pleasant. Just wanna share my experience so someone else doesn't get burned. Two days ago i decided to render on RNDR cause i am on a tight schedule. The render finished pretty fast but i couldn't download my file. After contacting support, they concluded that the problem was the output file was too big and that was causing the error (I had a 32bit multilayer EXR).
They suggested that i disable multilayer and try again, and they would be willing to refund me for the scene. It was too late since i had already rendered the scene on my machine. So not only did i waste money, i wasted a whole workday, and i still didn't get a refund. So when you render on RNDR, try to keep your output files small i guess.

Hi,
what is the frame buffer dimension of the scene?

Please have a look at this Lua script for Standalone for splitting big frame buffer in tiles:

It was 2160x3840. The dimension was not the problem. The problem was the output file size. But thanks for the help and for the script.

You are welcome :)
But, if you reduce the frame buffer dimensions by half, the output file should be roughly 4x smaller :roll:

That is fine and all. Making the file size is not the problem here. The problem is me not knowing that there is a limitation to that and that if the file exceeds X amount i won't be able to download it.
Is there any warning about that? What is the point of spending money to render something if i can't download the rendered product?
