noob question - how to display image render info?

[wasteland giant]

Hey, when you render an image in max - sometimes you see the tech info like time/polycount..etc at the bottom of the render and I was wondering if someone could tell me how to enable it? I'm looking through the settings and not seeing it.

if your looking for the settings in mental ray then you'll be looking forever

 

in vray however you can do it (can't remember from memory but the fact you haven't found it suggests you're using mental ray)

 

if you can do it in mental ray i apologise and would like to know how though

 

but just do it in photoshop anyway

in vray - http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150SP1/render_params_system.htm#frameStamp

 

and in max, but it is only informations about polygon count - righ click on name of default viewport (left up) -> configure -> statistics

 

or do you mean vray log? - http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150SP1/render_params_system.htm#vrayLog

 

or what kind of information do you looking for?

that render dialog window poping up only when you are rendering/automaticly/, and you cant call it after render

i was thinking of something similar yesterday.

 

i'd like to be able to save some of the rendering settings (mental ray) with the image.

 

stats like FG settings / exposure controls and such.....would be very useful.

 

could you export the rendering settings as a text file ?

[WAcky]

you can save out a preset file pretty easily which should do exactly what you want. Search for preset rendering options in the max help file.

 

But no, mental ray doesn't natively create a framestamp like vray does AFAIK.

 

I've done a bit of searchinng but it seems a log files is the next thing...

Hi, I know this script:

It is free.

yeah, I'm a mental ray user and my question was more for that renderer than vray (whicH I have access to but don't use). I just wanted to track just how long some images were going to take to render..etc. This is a tad disappointing!
