End of render text

[glorybound]

2019 and still no way to get a text when my render ends. When my doorbell rings my office TV turns on with a view of my front door, when I get a tweet my lights blink, but I can't get notified when my render ends.

Yeah Autodesk introduced email notifications years ago, but far as I know, nobody to get it to work and I think Autodesk rather than just remove the feature, stopped developing it.. I'd imagine it would be a fairly simple thing to add to V-Ray though, since it only needs to know that the render is complete.. to be able to send a simple text message and the number to send it to, must be easier doing that, than setting up email notification in Max..... Would be handy if someone already made a script for this, though I imagine you have already gone that route

I think to get MAX's notification to work you needed your own SMTP server or something. Sometimes I literally sleep in my office, waking up every so often to check on things and it would be nice to simply get a text notification when things are done. I know I can log in remotely, and I do, but why wake up when it has 45 minutes until it is done? https://ifttt.com integration would be cool beans. Blink my bedroom light when the render is done.

Not the most efficient, but it works:

Interesting. I have always avoided Skype, but it might have improved over the years. I'll check it out, thanks!

"Alexa, play tron soundtrack when render completes"

[glorybound]

No way! "Okay, Google" When render completes, raise the head of my bed, turn on my TV and show me my 3DS MAX screen.

You could propably to stuff with the post-render-script. All kinds of stuff can be called and done via scripting, also apllication-external stuff. You'd have to be a programmer/scripter or hire one though propably.

The script could be fairly simple with a commandline tool like SMS-It. You will problably need a subscription to an SMS gateway too!

Email, Smartphone push notifications and SMS at render end or errors would be awesome. Maybe develop a smartphone app with a remote vfb?
Ah I should stop dreaming of such luxury

Well, there are notifications if you render on the V-Ray cloud; not sure what it would take to integrate this into V-Ray itself...
