Hi, I pretty much nailed it in the subject there: is it possible to - rather than overwrite checkpoint or _part files when Karma is rendering - output a different file each time?

I'm trying to do some render profiling, and would like to understand how my image is converging over a many-hour-long render. So what I'd love to do is, say, output a file every hour (or 50 samples, or whatever), and name the file accordingly, so I can step through the images and see how the convergence is doing (and also compare denoising results at each step).

Possible?

There'll be a feature coming in the next major Houdini version to help with this.

Woop!

One thing to be aware. If you have many textures, convert them to .rat

We had renders that took 12hours, went down to hour and something.
