Hello,

Sorry for the very simple question but I can't find the answer anywhere.

Where can I find the files Mantra rendered when I choose render to Mplay ?

I am on windows 7.

Many thanx

Renders to Mplay are temporary. You lost those if mplay is closed. You can save renders from file menu or by right click.

Thank you PradeepBarua but if I didn't close it, they must be somewhere on the disk right ?

thanx a lot

They might be in RAM. You should be able to right-click in the Mplay window to save them to disk (I think… haven't had to do that in a while).

Mantra and viewport flipbooking send images directly to MPlay via a network connection, so there are no temporary image files created.

MIght be nice to have the options to save a temporary sequence to disk during the rendering process to MPlay

that would be particularly useful for third party renderers auch as arnold, which doesn't even have another option for rendering aside from mplay, even though i understand that's a question for solid angle too
