Hello: How can I start and stop then restart a rendering without losing what has already been rendered? I have the computer set up as a stand alone network station. Any information would be most welcome. Thank you for your help. Daniel Pasholk /exit

Daniel, The network rendering feature works great for stand alone machines. When rendering use the NET QUEU option. When you want to start the actual rendering stick your machine in slave mode. You can now stop the rendering anytime you feel like it by taking the machine out of slave mode. To start it back up after you have stoped it just clean the the network queu and stick the machine back in slave mode and it will continue rendering were it left off. I think this only works for sequential bitmaps. I am not sure if you can restart a queu entry if it is generating a flic file. Peter W. Spectral Imaging

Dan, If you are rendering to FLIC file, you can render to a stream of GIF's instead and video post them later on into a FLIC. PeterW.
