Corona 1.3 save at intervals question

[mitviz]

Hi guys, i am testing corona 1.3 but i left it while i went to sleep but i set it to save at intervals, reason being i wanted to see where the image cleared up, based in the files in the folder i saved can anyone tell me how to interpret these, i mean there is image and image_end and idk what it means, have  alook

[romullus]

These are autosaved from VFB into exr format. Files named image_xxx are incremantal saved at set interval and files named image_end_xxx are saved after rendering is complete.

[mitviz]

so it was set at 20 mins interval, so your saying it saves once at the beginning of the 20 min and again at the end of the 20 mins?

[romullus]

If interval is set at 20 min. then first render will be saved at 20 minutes after render starts, then after another 20 and so on. And one more image, named [set_name]_end, is saved when rendering ends. Keep in mind that autosave overwrites older files, so  first file saved wouldn't necessary be numbered with 001.

[mitviz]

hmm, when does rendering actually end? i thought it actually will just go and go and go?

[romullus]

Render ends if one of those criterias are met:

• pass limit is set to other than 0 and set passes are reached
• time limit is set to other than 0 and time runs out
• user manually stops render
• electricity loss, computer breaks down, earthquake starts, etc...*

* in case of number 4, autosave may be not saved correctly ;]
