Reload raw render to render region

[Rhys]

Is this possible ? Say we have completed a render, if there is an update and we still have the file in the frame buffer we can do a region and save out the entire file again by just rendering that region and save out the whole image.

If we open the file to rerender the region from fresh we just have the region and all the black around the file.

so my question is, can you reload all the passes into the frame buffer and then render a region and then save the file back out again?

I often needed this for exr but as I can see you can open only vrimg files. Did you try that if you save in vrimg?

Yes, but as Crayox13 noted, only for .vrimg files at present.

Best regards,

so I could save out a vray image file as well as an exr when rendering then load this back in for the update. Good to know will give it a try!

If you know the particular job will go on for a few iterations, leave the Vray VFB History turned on.
