Maxwell Render | Official public forum

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,

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
