Corona Custom Render Indicator for Corona VFB 2

Written because Corona VFB 2 lacks a native render progress indicator.

Installation: save the script to any scripts/startup directory.

If you want to play around, type “ccri.help()” in the maxscript listener.

Good Luck

Thank you!!

Its very useful
But… I have seen that when IR reaches max passes, the render stops but the icon keeps moving.

Thanks for the notice, this is/was due to a bug in the CoronaFp interface. It reports that an IR is going on even when interactive_passLimit is reached and the renderer has stopped. No need to say that I have already reported this and other issues regarding wrong data when querying the interface. I added a “manual” check to get around it, hope it works for you as expected now (v0.08 in the first post).

Good Luck

Perfect, Its working ok at the moment
Big thanks Frood!!!

Hi, is there a way to have this also work in interactive mode?

It’s often the case where I think… is this actually doing anything & I say to myself ‘where’s the smiley face when you need it?’

Thanks

Hi,

not entirely sure about what you mean. It should work in IR and PR/IterativeR. Or do you mean that you would like to have an indicator in an extended viewport/docked IR session? If so, that’s not possible with this script, sorry.

Good Luck

Hi, hmmmmm.

Doesn’t work in IR for me

Thanks

Could you try to uninsttall and reinstall using the commands from the script ( use ccri.help() code in maxlistener to check the codes to do it )

No need to do so, it was a side effect from that quick fix regarding the Corona interface.

Thanks for the video, now it should. Please use v0.09 (first post). I just forgot to include the case where IR pass limit is set to 0.

Good Luck

Sweeeeeeet, that works

Thanks
