Command line rendering - Viewing image in progress??

[vlado]

There is some work in progress related to this, but nothing that can be used yet, unfortunately.

Best regards,

That is great news!

If you have anything available for early testing later on, don't hesitate to let us know as we would gladly provide feedback and, if possible, start using such a feature right away.

[Fredrik Averpil]

I can't hold back - I need to ask, are you guys coming up with something to preview an ongoing render?

[vlado]

Yes, working on it. Btw, do you need it for both V-Ray for Maya and V-Ray Standalone, or just the Standalone?

Best regards,
Vlado

[Fredrik Averpil]

That's fantastic!

In short - it would be great if it worked with V-Ray for Maya (mayabatch).
The way we render everything today, it all goes through V-Ray for Maya. But if the progressive preview would only launch when using the standalone renderer we will have to look into changing our pipeline to support this.

Yes, the work is in progress.
A new tool is in development, that can preview an ongoing V-Ray rendering.

[Fredrik Averpil]

We're very excited about this and anxious to start taking advantage of it!

[Fredrik Averpil]

Will it be possible to invoke this new tool at the same time as the rendering begins - and keep it visible until rendering is complete?

We are used to having the old VFB enabled, so that when batch rendering in Windows, the VFB will appear automatically, showing the progress of the render. We have monitors visible on each machine that renders so that we can quickly spot something that looks wrong. We would ideally like to be able to invoke this new tool automatically when starting a render.

I will forward your request to the developers for consideration.
Thnak you for your feedback.

Hi,
A little request : i hope we will have the possibility to have python command to control this new VFB, like load image, save image, control gamma, exposure....

[Fredrik Averpil]

Any news on this yet?

[Fredrik Averpil]

Bump!

Hi,

Unfortunately we don't have news from the developers about this request yet.

[Fredrik Averpil]

I'm guessing we won't see this feature make it into V-Ray for Maya 3.0?

[Fredrik Averpil]

Aaaaah... !!!
