Maya API - Callback events

[max@mfx]

Hi,

Are there any events for the Maya API I can use for getting a callback on render completed, like MSceneMessage::kAfterSoftwareRender?

I have not tried if the above event works with VRay, but I suspect it is for the software renderer as it says so.

Best Regards,
Max

There are the MEL callbacks; are they not enough for what you need?

They do work as I want, but the thing is that I want to get rid of the hassle of setting it up in every scene. I'm implementing a notification system and would finally have it as a plugin for Maya, working with the default renderer and VRay, and maybe even Mental Ray if time allows.

Best Regards,

I see. Unfortunately I'm not sure if we can add our own callbacks to the MSceneMessage class; will have to ask...

Cool, I do it via the usual MEL callbacks in the meantime.

Hi,

There is MUserEventMessage, but we have to check if it is possible to register the event in one plugin and add a callback for it in another.
