Vraylog save a copy for consult it later

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General
1

Hi, i’ve a question, is possible to save the vray log file with the render?
…
If i upload for example 5 render on backburner for make these during the night, in the morning i find my renders but i can’t know all information written in the vray log as for example noise threshold value, sampling level reached,…

Some advise or trick?

The %TEMP% folder should hold the vrayLog.txt file, with all the information you seek.

yes i know, but everytime i start new 3dsmax, vraylog file is reset, then i can find only data from last render made!
Correct?

My bad, i assumed you spoke of an animation (on single machine).
the parameter “.system_vrayLog_file” is a string.
So if you need to name it, you can do so with a pre-render script.
The one attached adds the max filename and the current frame to the log filename, leaving it in the temp folder.
It should be trivial to change this if instead of different frames you have different cameras within the same max file.

(
    newLogName=@"%TEMP%\"+getfilenamefile maxFilename+"_f"+currenttime.frame as string+"_VRayLog.txt"
    try --V-Ray CPU
    (
        renderers.current.system_vrayLog_file=newLogName
    )
    catch --V-Ray GPU
    (
        renderers.current.V_Ray_settings.system_vrayLog_file=newLogName
    )
)
