resume render

[Dom74]

Hello,
I just want to know if it's possible to resume a render ( like maxwell render )
I've rendered à scene with the default 16000 samples, it took over an hour to achieve, but there
is still some noise in the dark areas and some light/flashy pixels.
I have restarted a render with 32000 samples, it was better, but it's a loss of time to restart from zero.

No it's not possible ATM. Maybe in future releases.

16000 samples is overkill, there must be something not set up right in your scene,
have you got any images/screenshots/renders ?

A resume from file option is planned for future versions.

I hope you are right.
That's what I was talking about, I know glass is heavy to render..
mode is pathtracing with 16 bounces ( 14 or 15 will do the trick, but don't change a lot render time ).
Dont know where make my signature, so :
GTX 480 / i7 980 / 12 GO RAM / W7 x64

@Dom74 I saw your image and it shouldn't take that long to get a decent image. You need to tweak your kernells one at a time. Also if you´re using small luminants (many lights) you might run into noisy results, increase their sample rate or choose an hdr (you can create your own hdr with hdri studio) a combination of sky hdr+sun is a great illumination solution that renders fast.

Beter late then never . You are replying on a comment from 6 years ago (just that you know ).
