When you click Render, a rendering progress dialog shows the parameters
being used, and a progress bar. The rendering dialog has a Pause button to
the left of the Cancel button. When you click Pause, the rendering pauses,
and the button's label changes to Resume. Click Resume to continue with the
rendering.
NOTE The mental ray renderer does not support the Pause button. You can cancel
a mental ray rendering, but you can't pause it.
