Hello Everyone,

I am doing some test renders for a document on ISL. I thought it would be best to use the same scene as the mat db. However, I would like to limit the render time for each test to 15 minutes. I have done this before with other scene files, but this one seems to ignore the setting.

Does this have anything to do with the fact that previewmats.igs is being included? I searched through each file, and saw that it only exists in IMPmatdb.igs.

Thanks!

I beat you to it. It appears as though halt time -1 is assumed unless otherwise specified, and overwritten by an include statement even thogh the included scene does not specifically set halt time.

I added the following to the previewmats.igs:

Code: Select all

	<renderer_settings>

		<halt_time>900</halt_time>

	</renderer_settings>

Now all renders using IMPmatdb.igs last 15 minutes.
