Stopping a render

edited July 2022 in Daz Studio Discussion

I've been using DAZ Studio for quite sometime and it has one irksome "issue" that I've consistantly encountered which has followed it around for more than a decade of my own personal knowledge across multiple versions and experienced on multiple hardware platforms and OSs. I've never stopped to ask if I'm doing something wrong and assumed the developers would do something about it eventually. So now I'll stop and ask before it really does drive me insane.

Is there a way to get DAZ Studio to immediately stop rendering when you you select "Yes" to "Would you like to cancel this render?"?

I hope I'm being clear. When I cancel a render, I want it to cancel immediately, not go on processing threads for an inderterminate amount of time until it finishes doing... whatever to a canceled and unwanted render.

So do I have something not configured correctly, or is this a long term PITA issue through which everyone suffers?

    Just be aware that this can break things.

    I'm quite certain that would work, but I'm not looking to crash out the program and reload each time DAZ Studio decides to sit there instead of terminating the render immediately as instructed.

    Unless I'm terribly mistaken, your response means there is no way to get DAZ Studio to properly and promptly end a render when instructed to for some arcane reason. You either crash the program or you wait until it decides to stop doing what you told it to stop doing 5 minutes ago.

    I just... I mean... *sigh*

    Daz Studio has to wait for the render engine to stop as instructed (or in some cases, if the render is at the prep stage, it may be busy transferring data and not processing the event queue - which is generally desirable as trying to process the queue mid-process is likely to have perform,ance impact and may actually open the door to errors).

    At least I can say I asked. C'est la vie, back to rendering. Thank you.
