Hi @m_adam thanks for the response. I did go through this but it doesn't seem to work for the following reasons:

1. When I run the script everything gets frozen until the render is complete - I can't even see the progress of the renders as it goes through the frames
2. Somehow progress callback doesn't work if I use an external engine - I am using Octane Renderer, so I'm assuming this documentation only applies for the internal render of C4D? I can see in the normal consol Octane is shooting out info about the renders including time and current frame etc - Is there a way to directly grab that information somehow?

Maybe I am looking at the wrong direction? Maybe I should be looking at Octane documentation and how to grab info from its terminal?

Apologies for the somewhat silly assumptions and questions - I am very new to all of this!

Thanks in advance

Hi @m_adam ,

Thanks for reaching out - I tried to look through the linked document but I couldn't seem to output any render information.
Below is the python code I am using - I am essentially making a thread to check while it is still rendering, and the moment it's complete it will continue the script. I would now like to make a callback for everytime a frame is done rendering, and how long it took to render it, etc

import c4d
import os,time,_thread, datetime

def isRendering(time,os) :

    RenderData = doc.GetActiveRenderData()
    FrameStart = RenderData[c4d.RDATA_FRAMEFROM].GetFrame(doc.GetFps())
    FrameEnd = RenderData[c4d.RDATA_FRAMETO].GetFrame(doc.GetFps())

    while c4d.CheckIsRunning ( c4d.CHECKISRUNNING_EXTERNALRENDERING ) :
        #print(c4d.RENDERRESULT_OK)
        time.sleep(1)

    print("render complete.")


def main() :

    c4d.CallCommand(12099) #Render To PV

    if c4d.CheckIsRunning ( c4d.CHECKISRUNNING_EXTERNALRENDERING ) :
        _thread.start_new(isRendering,(time,os))

if __name__=='__main__':
  main()

Hello,

I am trying to write a script to be able to read the progress of a render. I would like to be able to output the frame number that the current render is on. I just need to be able to output it into the console - the rest I can figure out.

I basically already have code that listens to if the render is starting and complete - now I would like to have interval console outputs whenever a new frame is being rendered.

I looked into the python syntaxes but I couldn't get anything useful!
Anyone know how to solve this??

Thanks in advance!
