One of the most useful features of Maxwell render is the ability to resume a render at any time, as long as you haven't changed anything to the MXS scene file and you have kept the MXI file of the render. You can stop the render if you wish to render something else, and come back and resume the previous one, it will continue from where it left off, continuing to increase the Sampling Level.
| Warning |
|---|
Do not change anything in the original MXS file or the resume will not work properly. You may get two different renders that look like they are overlapping. |
...
- Go to File>Resume MXI and locate the MXI file of your initial render. In the "Set new Sampling Level" dialog, enter the new desired SL. The MXI contains a reference in it to the location of the MXS scene file, so make sure the location of the MXS hasn't changed between resumes.

Resuming a network renderAdd a network job as usual through the network wizard and if Maxwell detects that there is already an MXI in the output location with the same name as the output specified when adding the job, it will ask you if you wish to resume the render.
