Is it possible to resume a merged coop mxi file so that you can continue on all your computers?

ie.: I setup a coop job that went out to 4 machines - time was set for 9 hours. After it finished it merged the 4 nodes to a single mxi. Now I want to resume, but I need all four computers to resume (resuming that single merged mxi on one computer would be too slow).

So how is this accomplished?

Thanks!

Hello, any MXI can be resumed.
Except when doing "File->load image" or "File>Save MXI". Those MXI will only have image information. But any MXI generated by a render can be resumed no matter it is a cooperative, animation, frame...

What you cannot do now is to use cooperative networking to resume a render (several machines resuming an mxi). But you can resume the result of a cooperative render with a single machine.

Thanks, that's too bad.

Hi: what is the procedure for resuming a mxi file from mxcl?

[b-kandor]

goto the file menu and select 'resume mxi', then select the mxi file you want to resume and point maxwell to the mxs that was used originally.

one can always resume the mxi separately with different seed and then merge them manually... cant one?.. maybe not
