Render times log ?

[nixx]

Is there a way to log the total render time of a frame or a range of frames ?

When I 'm rendering a frame/scene unattended, sometimes I just find it done when I get back, so I 'd like to know how long it took. There are no "time stamp" options in the logs that I 'm aware of.

thanks,
nick

If you turn on Information in mental ray's Diagnostics tab, you'll get this line printed at the end of a frame:

# INFO : RC 0.4 info : wallclock 0:00:00.27 for rendering

Yes, thank you Bernard !

I had Information checked on, but I missed the render time report because there were several other lines after that in the log (I had other diagnostics turned on too).

Thanks again :smile:

Thanks Patrick, Information diagnostics gives what I was originally looking for, but this looks very handy for other reasons too. I sure will check it out :smile:
