(Open) [HOU-4489] Husk: VRay progress update increments

[jbvfx]

Hi,

Is there a way to adjust the update frequency of the render logs when using Husk and VRay?

We are using this command to kick off the render: houdini/20.0.724/bin/husk -f 1004 --renderer V-Ray -Va2

This is what we are currently seeing:

Bump. These ultra-granular progress updates make for endless scrolling when trying to debug or locate particular info. Any pointers as to where we can control this are most welcome..

Hello,

We'll change the behavior to update for each % change in progress during rendering instead of updating at a set time interval. I hope that will help out with the clutter.

Best regards!

[Dan Andersen]

Thanks Gosho.Genchev , I think that would work better. Will there be any way for the user to configure the progress interval (via UI, env var or otherwise), or will it be a hardcoded value?

[Gosho.Genchev]

Hey Dan Andersen ,

We decided on hard-coding it to 1% intervals to avoid cluttering the UI. Do you see the need of exposing such a control?

Best regards!

[Dan Andersen]

I think it's a sensible default, so we're probably fine without the ability to change it. If it turns out to be an issue, I'll make a new forum post
