Email Options V-Ray 3.0 for Maya

[jacoblaerdal]

Hi,

Would it be possible to get Email Options into V-Ray 3.0 for Maya, so a message will be sent to inform about a current render?

Hi,
This feature is more a "render manager" feature than a "render engine" feature.
You can use free render manger (deadline give 2 free license for example, royalrender 4 licenses) to have option like this (and more option).

Hi,

I see what you mean. But it would be nice to have in V-Ray 3.0 for Maya. So we don't have to use Backburner for Maya, Deadline, Royalrender......!

In Mental Ray i have been using Backburner for Maya with the Email Options set to on, and it works. But it involved a lot of pain to use Backburner.

And now that i am back in VRay, I really wish that i/we could communicate with a SMTP Sever all ready running.

The Email Option could probably be located in the System section with some few options:

Send Email:
Notify Completion (End)
Notify Progress (After "200" frames)
From (Email)
To (Email)
SMTP Server ("all ready Running")

Just a wish

A easy workarround, you can use Python in post-render : http://docs.python.org/2/library/email-examples.html

You can also use https://pushover.net with Python to get notifications on your phone when render has finished.

Nice feature to have.

Hi,

...Thanks Powershell is very nice! Now we just have to have a little feature in the System section hehe!

It would be good to have a email "Notify Progress (After "200" frames)" hope i'll find a way.

...Sweet i will have a look at https://pushover.net

If you can check current frame in maya then you can use if statement maybe?

If frame == 200:
print "bla bla bla"
?
Isn't python process called every frame?

There is post frame callback which could be used for this.
