Hi all, is it possible to stop a cooprendering before time and sl is done?

i have one running for 8h that is enough, but i have it set by accident to about 3days...

cani just stop it and manually merge the mxi file from the servers?

thanks for help

cheers

Yes, just select the job and click stop job. The auto merge will probably fail but you can gather the .mxi files from each node's M~R install folder and merge manually.

You can merge the.mxifiles manually. They get saved lije a jpg would as the rendered reaches each sl, so even if the network manager is stuck, the .mxi will have the last SL solution. They are in the N~R install folder of each node by the name of Cooperative.mxi
