Power failure triggering a "render save" and shutdown.

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
Filipe

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...

Interesting finding, it will come in handy also for me for remote working, thanks for sharing

Sorry my bad, went to hibernation after 25 minutes or so
