Hello

Would it be possible in octane to save a render automatically if there is a power failure, before the ups runs out of battery?
If not, wouldn't it be a great feature?

Kind regards

Hi Filipe,
during v3 development, we should have the ability of pause/resume a render in anytime, so in theory, only an autosave function will be necessary to solve your issue ;)

Just found a way.
It seems that as Han Solo, Octane also survives hibernation.
So we just need to use the UPS software to trigger a hibernation, when the computer is back on, the rendering resumes!


Kind regards

Sleep is different from hibernation...
