END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Look in the folder of saved images and get the number of the last frame rendered.

Tell it to "start at index" of that number.

Glad it helped  

As for the different looking renders, are you sure the same version of M3D is running on both computers?  If the versions are not identical, that can happen.

Hi,

I get this issue (and difficulty joining/matching/guessing frames) if I try to continue or rerender updated/inserted or joined versions, but for basic stop and restart, Sockratease is right - If the last one was 609 then you simply need to "Start with Index" 610 to restart. Make sure you have the same version - as you are aware - and leave the File Index box well alone. I got into even more problems fiddling with this one. As the subframes are impacted upon by the next-to-be-rendered keyframe (try it, put a random third keyframe after two keyframes that you want to render between -  and see the difference produced), at some point between the rendering, the third keyframe will begin to impact during quadratic bezier rendering - so make sure the sequence is identical and that 'linear' is not added by mistake (or vice versa).

I'm not aware that inadvertantly changing picture size or file type between keyframes has any impact on the final renders (perhaps someone can enlighten), as the final is governed by the size/type stated in the anim window, but if the is a change in the Calculation settings, this will impact.

Hope this adds to the discussion.
