Hi there;

I'm curious if there's a way to impose a time limit on Karma, e.g. to say "Render for an hour, then stop and run the denoiser"? Even better, if there's a way to understand 'how far' Karma made it at the point it times out (e.g. "75% done" or something)?

Thanks!

karma --timelimit 300 foo.usd
will render for 5 minutes, then save out whatever's done.
This works with all render delegates (and not all render delegates provide percentage complete).

Hm! Ok, that's a good clue, thank you! Presumably I need to find a way to add this flag to my Karma ROP. Does the denoiser run once the time limit has been reached? Or is there a separate denoiser node I can run once the Karma rop exits? (where I'm coming from here is that I have a ROP graph that triggers a compositing job after the render completes).

Edit: D'oh, there's a timelimit param on the Karma rop.
