Quote - Coming back to the topic of large renders:

You're using Pro 2010, so I would recommend you use "render in background". One advantage is that a background render runs in a separate process. The second advantage is that you can pan in the render window while a background render is in progress, so you don't have to wait for the render to finish in order to detect any problems halfway through.

 

Oh, that is a good idea.  I've tried working on other pieces when using that, but the render always appears to stop.  lol, it doesn't like multitasking, I guess.

I didn't remember about the pan though, and that would definitely help me catch this early.  Thank you for a great pointer.  :)
