Hi there, short question: how do you see whether Vue crashed or got caught in a dead-loop on a Windows system? Well, situation is this: I'm working on a new image (old WIP image is below the link). Changed textures and lighting, and wanted to render a highest-quality image overnight: 16 aa-subsamples, best quality. Well, I started the render, and it proceded well to about 4% (if slowly) and gave me an ETA of 4h. Went to bed, and this morning, it gave me an ETA of 130h, 6% completed . . . apparently, there was a deadlock. The application simply looped, but didn't really "crash". I could interrupt the render with ESC and no problems. So--is there any way to know when Vue deadlocked / crashed for sure? It would suck to interrupt a long render because I simply *think* Vue was looping . . . ta, -Sascha.rb P.S. the scene has about 100,000 polygons and 25 lights, and is rather light--about 30MB or so. -.rb
