Hi,

I hope someone is able to help me.

I am quite new to POV-Ray, although I have known about it for 15-20 years.

When I'm trying to render a scene which takes more than a day to render, I use
the resuming option. I have read the documentation numerous of times, but I
can't really get it to work. In the QUICKRES.INI file (I have also tried the
command line options), I have added the following two lines:

Continue_Trace=on
Create_Ini=rerun.ini

When I start rendering, POV-Ray is creating the rerun.ini file as well as the
..pov-state file. The Messages tab also claims "Continued trace......On".

However, if I have stopped the rendering using the Stop button, and later
(doesn't matter if I have or have not closed POV-Ray) decide to continue, it
doesn't matter what I do. I can't resume from where I left off.

I have tried both command line, like the documentation suggests:

pvengine64.exe RERUN +C
(Also tried with rerun.ini instead of RERUN)

I have tried opening the .pov file in POV-Ray and pushing Run, as well as
opening the created rerun.ini file pushing Run.

Is there something I'm missing? Why doesn't POV-Ray continuing rendering my
scene from where it stopped earlier?

Regards,

Lennie
