Hi,

I can easily check if an editor rendering or an external rendering is running, by using the function CheckIsRunning() with the arguments CHECKISRUNNING_EDITORRENDERING and CHECKISRUNNING_EXTERNALRENDERING.

But how can I find out if a rendering is running that has been triggered by the "Make Preview..." option in the Render menu?

Greetings,
Jack

Hi Jack,

i dont really know an answer to this, but i noticed there's a flag called RENDERFLAG_PREVIEWRENDER in operatingsystem.h (510), maybe this would somehow help you to achieve what you want ?
didnt try out anything with it tho..

hth,
Daniel

But thanks anyway, it was worth a try ;-)

Of course ;-)

in my plugin object I calculate some data which I hide in the containers of my objects (also see this thread).

My shader evaluates that data during rendering to create the shading.

But the calculation of the data costs time, thus slowing down the editor performance when working with huge amounts of objects. So I want the data to be only calculated when rendering. That includes editor rendering, external rendern, preview rendering.

A flag CHECKISRUNNING_PREVIEWRENDERING would be nice ;-)
