Settings for infinate render

DekeSlade

Simple question, what do I set my settings to for it to render infinitely till I cancel?

I'm not sure if you can, but have you tried playing with the Preogressive Rendering settings?

 

DekeSlade

Ive tinkered a lot and likely have. I know it can be done but dont remember how as some settings options have changed and others added.

function

MAX SAMPLES: infinate

Max Time: infinate

Render Quality: turn off, or turn on and set ratio to 100%

Now you can render infinate.

Hm, by infinity you mean 0 correct? As I remember that was part of it but now it is just bringing up the render window and stopping with nothing in it. Essentially looking transparent, which I have it set for a transparent background.

Try -1 

4.16.0.3 and 4.16.1.43 are bumping -1 to 0. I would think this might be a bug, unless nVidia have changed the rules.

Then it must be a bug. Nvidia didn't change the rules, the correct value for disabling Max Time / Max Sampes is -1. By the Iray Programmer's Manual from 2022-01-18 what is the current version.
