Render timer

rastanz

Hello,
I may have missed it somewhere but does Daz3D have a rendering timer or something to time my renders, it's been kinda guess work for me, when I start my renders and walk away for 30/40mins whilst it renders at 2560x1440 16:9 scale or 3360x1440 21:9 they're usually complete in that time, but it would be cool to know the estimate time of completion of a render via countdown timer...

The only way to know the render time that I know of, assuming you weren't sitting at your PC, is to check the Log file. Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File. It is under 'Total Rendering Time: '

While an image is rendering, there is a box that tells you the percentage rendered so far, but there is no way that I know of to predict the render time, it depends on so may variables.

Thanks for your reply JimmyC_2009, maybe it's something the developers could implement in the next release... Log File looks like the only way it seems, a little tedious to access though.

Yes, a percentage or timer with an auto shut-down option, all of my video editing software has the option to switch off my PC once conversion is complete so it would be a bonus to walk away from my PC knowing it will shut-down automatically after a render is done and save power.

Cheers!
