Hi
I am working on a project with massive render time (20 hours and more). Is there a way that I can pause a render so my machine is only rendering when I am working or do I have to render without a pause?

For this you have "resume render" - it does exactly what you want. You interupt, save the file (without changes) and then you can continue rendering later - whenever you want that.

Thanks Wabe. 
My machine will be happy about this news - and so am I ;-)

PS: Sometimes the simple things are so obvious that I can't see them...

Isn't it often like that? If you want to hide something really well, make it big enough!

Maybe you check your preferences first - I think resume render needs to be "switched on" first there and do some tests before the project becomes "hot". Always good to have something tested BEFORE there is too much pressure.

I just tested this feature and it work perfectly. Even after installing the newest upgrade ;-)

can you not just render overnight ? I often find that Vue is a bit pessimistic about the time it's going to take.

Sometimes I render overnight, but my machine is quiet noisy and my bedroom is next to my office. So it's quiet nice to have the opinion to resumee the render.
