Resuming a job with the Network

Resuming jobs in the Network System is possible for Single, Cooperative and Animation jobs. This is a very useful feature that allows you to get a fast version of your render (or even for an animated sequence), and use the Network power to resume that fast version to the final quality.

If you still have the job you want to resume in the Jobs list, you can also select the job and click this toolbar button:


Resuming a network render

Add 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.


In addition to the regular resume functionality, there is also the possibility of "progressive animation rendering", please see the Progressive Rendering Workflow page.
