Capture rendering image from Vray frame buffer at regular interval

V-Ray V-Ray Application SDK General

Hi,

Can I get jpg file at regular interval from vfb while rendering? I am developing a cloud rendering solution and wants to send rendered image back at regular interval.

Yes, you can use the VRayRenderer.getImage() method for that. The interval timer needs to be your own. Note that you might get identical images if you call getImage too often.

means instead of using VRayRenderer.waitForImageReady, I should start timer with some interval at VRayRenderer.on(‘start’) event and call VRayRenderer.getImage() on timer function?

Yes, you need something like that.

waitForImageReady will wait for the render to fully complete (or stop due to error etc.)

5

Can the same thing achieved using VRay standalone command line options without using App SDK ?

No, vray.exe will only output the final image. It can’t output intermediate results.
