If my irmap is only rendering every tenth frame can I set the animation to render on a different machine using the frames already calculated while the irmap is still calculating.
In other words can I start to use the information in an Irmap to begin a render before the irmap is complete or do you have to waiting for the irmap to finish before you can start the render.
If I copy the irmap when it was half way through its calculation to a different location and started rendering frames are the frames I have rendered from half completed irmap going to be identical to the frames from the completed irmap?
I am guessing that as the machine calculating the irmap needs to write out the information as it finishes each irmap frame that if you were to start rendering from it that you would eventually run into a conflict where both computers would be trying to access the file at the same time.
If thats right is that the only reason or is there information thats added to the entire map after the map reaches its last frame?
