If you add a new version of a job you have already submitted, its upload will be much quicker than the initial upload. Chaos Cloud Rendering compares every new job to the existing ones, and if there is a match, the client app will upload uploads only the changes. This is useful when you make a new iteration of an existing scene and is why it's recommended to keep your jobs in Chaos Cloud Rendering while you are still working on them.

  • .vrimg is a Chaos proprietary file format used by the V-Ray Frame Buffer to store the rendered image incrementally (bucket by bucket) while rendering in full floating-point format, with all available render elements. It is used as a render output but it is not recommended to use it as a texture file format. VRIMG contains metadata, i.e. render statistics. It supports dynamic bucket size
