[Closed] [sdk] get current render frame number

Apr 07, 2019 9:12 am

I want to know how to get current render frame(not tick) number on c++ SDK.
Because I want to refresh some value at every frame.

When I hook TimeValue t, I get current tick. But it is not “Frame” number.
Then, I do

round(t / GetTicksPerFrame())

I can get frame number in some case. But when I use motion blur and that duration larger than 1 frame, this result is not working.

So, someone know how to get it?

Does anyone know how to get current frame?

“GetCOREInterface()->GetTime()”

is only work for time slider.
Under render range or network rendering can’t get correct time.

don’t really play with the render stuff but my guess is your probably not using “the max way” for these things… you have probably got to use a callback

so in your class declare something like…

static void PreFrameHandler(void* param, NotifyInfo* info);

then it would look something like this…

void MyClass::PreFrameHandler(void* param, NotifyInfo* info)
{
	MyClass* mcls = static_cast<MyClass*>(param); // get your class instance so you can call its functions
	RenderGlobalContext* rgc= reinterpret_cast<RenderGlobalContext*>(info->callParam); // get the global render context

	// do stuff here with

        mcls->DoStuff( rgc->time);

}

then you register somewhere in the contructor or when you want it active with…

RegisterNotification(PreFrameHandler, this, NOTIFY_PRE_RENDERFRAME);

and then unregister in the destructor or when it’s appropriate with…

UnRegisterNotification(PreFrameHandler, this, NOTIFY_PRE_RENDERFRAME);
