tbray Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Trying to stop rendering - it is hanging 2 cm from the bottom - Just want it done without losing anything. There are no major objects in the way just a flat surface. Any help here. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 ESC or Command Period? (Is the floor reflective, and with bumps or glossy? If so, that will add time...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi TBray, Yes, as Rob notes, the ESC key or the Command Period shortcut should stop a rendering. Does that work for you? If not, does loading the default shortcuts fix it for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbray Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 No sorry - does not compute that command - Is it beacuse of the file size or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi Troy, If you get a New Project, Render, and Cancel, does it work there? (It will need to complete the "next band" of pixels in order to check for the cancel command, so a more complex file will generally take longer to cancel than a simple file.) If this works, but another file does not, if you can send the file, we will investigate why it is not canceling as quickly as it should. Or if the simple file is not canceling either, if you go to the Edit Menu: Key Shortcuts (save your Shortcuts to a file), then Load Default Shortcuts, does that fix it for you?

tbray Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Please find attached file. Just downloaded 8.01 update - doesn't quit render on this version either. Using Windows 7 ultimate. curved wall A.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi Troy, This is canceling fine for us. Have you tried going to the Edit Menu: Key Shortcuts -- saving your shortcuts to a file, clicking the Load Defaults option, and then rendering and canceling? Your file is rendering VERY Slowly because you have enabled Super Sampling and set this to High. This effectively renders your file 4 times larger (in both X and Y) and then samples this down to the specified resolution. As such, this generates 16 times more pixels, and takes 16 times longer to render. (If you just set that for this example, of course that is fine, but we would pretty much never recommend that setting unless there is an absolute need for it and you can't just render at the higher resolution and keep the extra pixels.) Your AO settings are also pretty high. You should likely set the Distance to 1 Meter, and set the Quality to 1 for all but final renders. Does resetting your shortcuts fix the Cancel -- and do these suggestions allow you to generate your renders much more quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbray Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ok - I got it. Returned to defaults. Thankyou. I had assigned my own shortcut maybe that's why. Ctrl +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi Troy, Yes, if you change the shortcut for cancel to operate a different tool, then it will no longer execute the cancel operation. You did not our other comments regarding optimizing your rendering settings, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cooper Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I found this thread useful again for cancelling rendering. For the record, cancel [esc] is found in the help category. Esc does not respond in the click to set shortcut, but is selectable from the drop down to the right hand side in the dialogue box. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi Alan, Yes, and both Command Period and ESC should be default key shortcuts -- unless someone changed them to something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
