I’m writing a renderer plugin.
How can I catch clicks on the Pause button during rendering in order to pause the render?
The only reference to this Pause button in the SDK appears to be this, in render.h:
/** Indicates that the renderer does not support the pause button found
* in the render progress dialog, and that the pause button should be disabled.*/
kRequirement_NoPauseSupport = 0
I have absolutely no idea how to access this button, even though I can think of how to hack it…
Hi there, I’m not very knowledgeable so I sincerely hope i’m not wasting your time if i’m wrong!
But to my knowledge, 3rd party renderers cannot pause renderings in 3ds Max. I have not seen a 3rd party renderer that can do this. Vray for example, doesn’t have a pause button.
Thanks for chiming in Michael. Actually, it’s possible to pause the render with Iray. (The pause button is indeed grayed out when rendering with V-Ray or mental ray.)
Ok thanks for the info François, great to know. Very interested in the development of appleseed for 3ds Max and will be following in the main thread. All the best!
