Rendering out large files

[latrommi_suineg]

im trying to render out a scene in comb... but once it gets to frame 10000 it starts again at frame one and rewrites... i dont get it? is there a limitation to the size of output files? or do i need to overwrite a preference or script in some how to allow it to overclock the size of the file? please help as of now im rendering out in portions and linking in an editing packaqe... and running out of space rapidly... thanks

What you are describing is a number padding issue.....

All you need to do is the following:

If you want to have more padding so to be able to render out more then 10000 then increade the "#" in the filename before rendering....

EXAMPLE: Face00001.tga is represented like "Face[#####].tga

So to increase the padding:

EXAMPLE: Face00000001.tga will be "Face[########].tga.....

Good luck!
