Mantra rendering problem


Recommended Posts

I have a scene, wich takes VERY long time to start rendering, all it does is calculating this "composition"

post-6941-0-31829900-1374382140_thumb.pn

The scene is rendering smoke, where 3 cached containers are merged together. I already rendered some frames, but it somehow stopped rendering them, first time it only took 10mins to do this composition. I think its somethnig to do with cache file merging, because before that it was rendering nicely each cache.

Sorry to drop in, but that's cool! I allways wanted to have some sort of visualisation while rendering is still in progress.

Do you mean this programm here? http://www.openexr.com/downloads.html -> openexr_viewers-2.0.0.0?

In Vray (I'm using it for Maya) for example, you can see the progress in the frame-buffer while it is rendering (nice because you can see instantly when something is going wrong). Is there a way to display the renderprogress in e.g. mplay while rendering a sequence?
