  • Locating Temporary Render File

    Posted by Matthew Sculino on September 6, 2017 at 1:37 am

    Hi all!

    I recently was rendering a rather large project in Cinema 4D (R13) when my Cinema 4D crashed. Now ordinarily I would just resume at the last frame it did, however, I accidentally had manipulated the project since then and saved so the 2 halves won’t match up.

    My thinking is that, like when you render to Media Encoder, surely a temporary project file is created for the renderer to read so that it can render despite changes being made to the main project. I am trying to locate that temporary file so essentially I can recover the project that the render was rendering from before I accidentally made changes to my project file and then resume my render.

    Would anyone know where this can be located, if I am correct in assuming a temporary file is created at all?

    Matt

    If you mean a backup project that saves as you work, you can find where that is saved in your preferences, but you will have had to set that up to begin with. Cinema changes the extension to be .c4d@sometimestamp so you would need to do an advanced search using just a partial extension, which if you had the backup save set this up is why you might not have been able to find it by type.
