Better Frame Stamp

[atomcraft]

It would be nice to have some information about the Rendering Settings avaliable in the Frame Stamp - such as AA and what sort of secondary Illumination is being used.

I already know what operating system I use and what speed my CPU is...

Yeah I know - Im being fussy but all that information is pretty useless - okay rendertime is good but like I said before I know how much RAM I have and what OS I'm using.
It would be nice to see more details - like Irradiance Map, QMC and Image Sampler settings - in a later release, very helpful for comparing different setups with rendertime and quality.

I think u can get that data by questioning some variables, u just ask vlado. But I am not 100% sure you'll be able to use in the stamp, but there is some possibility, since these are variables anyway.

You can get anything you want using maxscript parameters

%vrayversion - the current version of VRay
%filename - the name of the current scene file
%frame - the number of the current frame
%primitives - the number of unique intersectable primitives generated for the current frame
%rendertime - the render time for the current frame
%computername - the network name of the computer
%date - the current system date
%time - the current system time
%w - the width of the image in pixels
%h - the height of the image in pixels
%camera - the name of the camera for this frame (if rendering from a camera, empty string otherwise)
%<maxscript parameter name> - the value of any VRay parameter, given its MaxScript name (see section on MaxScript)
%ram - the amount of physical memory (in KBytes) installed on the system
%vmem - the amount of virtual memory (in KBytes) available on the system
%mhz - the clock speed of the system CPU(s)
%os - the operating system

You can have any variable by using something like

%"imageSampler_type"

To get all the variables type in the listener

vr=renderers.current

Then

showproperties vr

Assuming Vray is the current renderer

Hmm - cheers for that - it kind of works, but it only gives the maxscript description - eg %"imageSampler_type" would display as 2 and not 'Irradiance Map' or 'Lightmap'.

I guess as this is a wishlist - I would wish for more user friendly descriptions, still it is handy to know - so thanks again!
