  • PHX rendertime detective

    Hi!

    Related to this site I imagine a tool which I like to call "PHX rendertime detective":
    https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...ering+In-Depth

    What It should be?

    1. In the tool (a plugin or script) you pick your simulator(s) and your rendercam in your renderscene / shot and specify a frame on timeline.

    2. By taking all the useful tips for rendertime optimization you discribe in the help page I linked above, the tool starts with almost high parameters for highest quality and successively lowers / changes them.
    For each value change or bunch of value changes, the tool sends a job to deadline or backburner that renders the desired frame with the automatically adjusted settings and vray framestamp enabled so that rendertime could be viewed after rendering has finished.

    3. So now maybe 20 to 100 single frame jobs where generated and send to Deadline and rendered over night. In the next morning you can take your coffee and scrub through the rendered images and pick out your perfect fitting "rendertime/look"-favourite-result. Now you just have to look which settings were used to render the image and take them to render your volume fx shot.

    Isn't that a great idea !?

    Thanks in advance! Greetings!

    Are you rendering stills or animation? If animation you'd probably need to do a batch of 5 frames to tell if the settings you'd used had flickered or not!

      Yeah that could be another additional option to render a small sequence instead of just a single frame to check frame continuity and flickering.

            Hehe, sounds good like the other 1200 items in the todo list

            Time is never enough, so it would be great to have that as well - sooner, rather than later...
