HELP! i want to render my rhinos image at 4000 x 3000 pixels. the smegging thing says it will render to disk in 9 hours. um... my computer cant run without crashing for more than 3-4 hours... so i have discovered you CAN resume renders if you properly terminate them before you shut down. so i had a 15% render that i resumed this morning. why is it now only at 3%?? i KNOW it read the bmp and prepared to resume... is it 3% of my remaining 85%? or did i just destroy my morning's work? ::sigh:: so then i figured, if i select a render area, even a small area that can render to the screen, i can render the pieces to completion in less than an hour, and then stitch them together. the problem is, i don't know how to get vue to do that right. the last time i did it, the piece i rendered was the top of 'irony;' i selected the whole top, but it came out too small. vue re-calculated the render size based on... i have no clue what. but it wasn't the selected area's size of the whole huge render. ::SIGH::
