Stop rendering in Form Z 8

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?

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?

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.
