Daz re-renders when computer wakes up

Deke

It's an odd quirk: I render a long animation shot overnight, setting the computer to sleep after a certain time.  When I wake up the computer the next day, Daz starts rendering again, even though the shot has been rendered.

Was the render pane left open? I have found that a sleep and rewsume can be problemtatic for anything that loads data into the GPU, and an open ender will have data in the GPU - perhaps the rerender is necessary to refresh the GPU's data.

Deke If you use Windows 10 or 11 do this:

Hold the Windows key in the keyboard and press the Letter I and release the keys.

Now you are in the Settings, click System at the left side

Click Power

Click Screen and sleep

When plugged in, put my device to sleep after, click the down arrow and select a time, this can range from 5 minutes to 5 Hours or Never

Good luck!

When I set a shot to render overnight, I do set the sleep function. The problem is when I wake up the machine the next day, the render starts all over.  It's not a bad thing when using Iray as you can always exit out of such a render.
