CineRender back-up

[Anonymous]

I was rendering a fly-through over the weekend but Archicad crashed due to low disk space. Is there a possibility of recovering the process or at least like a fragment of the memory so when I render it again it won't have to be from scratch? Just hoping this case is still fixable.

Don't think you can recover. What I ussually do is render out the frames as images and take these to Adobe Premiere. That way, if it crashes, you have all the previous frames as image files.

There used to be memory leak problems with fly through renders, but I think these have been solved. But in the past I would have to render out 50 frames, close the session, render the next 50 frames etc. or it would crash.

I used multiple workstations to speed up the process.

If you're not too picky about how things look and which medium you are using for the fly-through, you can also save out the cameras as a fly-through to BIMx and present it using that.
