heyas; yes, i still have the agony of artistic defeat :) (wait, why am i smiling? well, okay, it IS funny.) no, no vultures. nor vulptures either! now, sitting blue... if you resave the image and file as a new name, vue won't be able to resume the render. cuz... i dunno, it's looking for the resume with the old name or SOMEthing. see, i used to do that, and i'd end up with like five patchwork files with different slices of the picture. (which, fortunately, could be spliced together.) and i told yas, the picture i saved in the vue/pics directory and the one in my documents/my pictures/whatever e-on, is exactly the same as the one shown above. (although 3000x instead of 256x) it just... aint rendered. ::sigh::
