[Closed] Viewing Rendering Progress?

I’m developing a script for rendering multiple cameras . I want to make it so when I push the render button on my utility it will render the camera or all of them. I know how to do this but I just get the VFB showing the frame number. I would like to be able to see the progress of the render specifically how long the render is going to take. So far the only solution I have found is to send the data to the render scene dialog but then I can only render one at a time and I have to click the render button in the dialog as well. Any help would be great.

Hi,
u can add a progress bar to the renders by adding ‘progressbar:true’ in the render line, something like:

bm = render camera:MyCamera outputSize:[512,512] progressbar:true

wow, thats easy I can’t believe that I missed that. Thankx

To be fair, the option was undocumented up until Max 7 (but has been there for a very long time)

I have played around with this feature but it seems to only display the progress of the preparation for rendering each frame, not the render time. Is there something that I am missing that will allow it to display the estimated rendering time?
