Hi all

I know that variables can be put into the filename (=output macro). Now I´d like to have the rendertime and the SL printed into the saved picture´s name.
Are there also output macros for that?

Also I´d like to start the render once and have pictures saved at e.g. SL15, SL18, SL22 automatically.
This would greatly simplify testing as I could turn on rendering over night and see the minimum time the render needs to clear sufficiently.

Does anyone know how to achieve that?

Cheers,
Rogurt

These are the macros available:

There isn't any macro for render time, but you can see that when you open the MXI, and there is also the render events script:
Open Maxwell, Scripting>Render events. This example script will write a file to disk with every new SL and also append the SL to the filename. You can customize it to suit your needs.

Thanks for the tip. I´ll need to investigate further since SL alone is not sufficient. Right now I have a scene that renders many times faster with tweaked materials than with the initial ones while the SL is quite the same in both cases.

Unfortunately I can´t find anything like rendertime in the scripting chapter of the documentation...

Still havent found anything about rendertime in the scripting documentation. What would I try next? Python? Don´t really know anything about that
