I'm in the process of rendering a large file to disk and have run into some trouble. This file has some volumetric materials and is large enough pixelwise to make the following a reasonable expenditure of time versus just re-rendering... First time I ran it the power went out and I have a half rendered image. Knowing that I can't get Bryce to start where it stopped I tried shrinking the height of the image and repositioning the camera but the two images didn't merge. I could see a difference in angle. So I flipped the camera 180 degrees in an attempt to recreate the problem but this time have the bottom half to salvage and merge with the top. Well, all of a sudden it was daytime in the image. When I flipped the director's view (my primary view for rendering), night turned into day. I managed to proceed with this option but I had to change the scene to a daylight scene in order for it to render as night. :) Just something strange I wanted to pass along. Moral of the story; Uniterruptable Power Supply.
