I have been playing around with the demo, and will probably buy the full version soon.

I like the fact that you can pause and resume rendering.

Is it possible (with the full version) to stop rendering, save your scene, quit the program, and at a later date start the program again, reload your scene, and resume rendering where it left off?

I am assuming it isn't, but I had to satisfy my curiosity.

As far as i know it isn't possible to save your scene in the demo. Under File -> Save as the "Save" buttons are grey.

like the saved film in luxrender; no, currently not possible. if you save the image, and later start rendering from scratch to the about same amount of samples/px, combining those two images in photoshop (or the like) will make the result more noise free, but that's only a quick&dirty workaround and of course not the same like resuming...
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply

1x i7 2600K @5.0 (Asrock Z77), 16GB, 2x Asus GTX Titan 6GB @1200/3100/6200
2x i7 2600K @4.5 (P8Z68 -V P), 12GB, 1x EVGA GTX 580 3GB @0900/2200/4400

Yeah, I didn't think it would be possible, but I had to ask.
Thanks for the replies.
Curiosity satisfied. :)
