Re-using LC and IM for animation? was created by emartin8907
Hi,
I am in the middle of rendering a beastly animation (LC and IM took 7 days, estimated time to render the 160 frames was another 7 days) and I have to stop it for reasons out of my control to replace my hard drives with SSDs, which will be nice but damn it -_-
My question is, will I be able to re use the LC and IM? I certainly hope so!! I am about 50 frames in to the render right now.
Attached is a pic of my render settings.

Hello !
i think yes, if LC and IM files haven't been updated or changed. I guess no.
In this case you just have to start from the desired frame and finish render.
Fingers crossed

Where do I tell it to use the existing LC and IM files?

ah, I think I figured it out. I was looking in the SolidRocks flythrough animation UI for a place to 'load from file' but instead just left the 'output' boxes empty for the LC and IM, and in the vray render settings under GI I was able to tell it to load the LC and IM from the file, and in SolidRocks in the flythrough animation ui I simply hit 'render final frames' and it loaded the LC and IM like a champ!
Cheers!

Well, in fact, you just have to relaunch the step number 3.
DO NOT relaunch steps 1&2 because in this case IM and LC wil be computed again.
