what about.. is there a way to make a script so that when you click render it "skips" to a point in the pic and starts rendering there? say i want to render a pic, it takes 3 hours but after 1 hour i need to stop it, so i can use the comp for other things, so current progress is saved then later i come back, start the script, select which "patch" to start at again, and it continues this method would also allow splitting renders to multiple comps, each making a set of the "patches" in the pic then a paint program can easily stack together into 1 pic
