MtoA stops counting time after roughly 1 hour?

MtoA stops counting time after roughly 1 hour?

Not sure if this is where I should post this, but here it goes.

I've been messing around with the sampling attributes in Arnold for Maya for a pretty heavy scene. Renders take 1 or more hours to complete but there's no way for me to know exactly how long the render took because after about an hour, the render timer displays random time figures.

Sometimes it will say, for example 14:23, when the image took easily more than 2 hours to complete (and less than 14 of course), and sometimes it will just say 00:00.

I am currently running the latest version of both Maya and Arnold, so I want to know if I'm missing something. Perhaps the render time limit is 59:59 and after that it just resets back to 00:00, but I don't know.

Regards

Do you mean the render time stats in the Arnold log? Or the timestamps on the log entries? I've seen Arnold logs where those time values were over 60 minutes.

Hi,

It's in the Arnold Render Window. Where can I find the logs? Maybe the timestamps there are correct.
