Hi, i have a suggestion about a nice feature like in maxwell render : the mxi file is great to use later to resume the render at a certain time, so you can add more quality whenever you want without restart the render.
A resume file for corona will be a great thing if possible.
Backstory is that, he had to buy an additional RAM (from 6GB to 16GB), beacuse of the very HiRes render (6k x 6k), which has taken around 10GB of RAM.
I could not give him straight answer. So I gave him quite s***ty answer. “I do not know, I cannot give you propper answer, maybe it could be possible, maby not. Perhaps it is possible, but the disk acces time could be MASSIVELY TERRIBLE, so it would be unusable.. Unles you buy TurboUltraRAID321tm. Which cost more than new computer with 96GB RAM”
With moving VBF from RAM to HDD, you may render very very large images in cost of speed. Or at the massive cost of speed? (main issue is writing massive nuber of small data, right?)
So I am asking you folks, is this even possible? Since geometry is in RAM, GI sollution could be cached on disk and light ray exist only for brief moment right?
