Backburner: How many buckets, in percent, of a still image has been rendered?

[Jon Berntsen]

Ok, so I am looking for ways to get proper feedback from our renderfarm. I'm using Vray/Max and send production rendering to our renderfarm, which has a manager and a server. This machine hooks up the rest of the farm with DR. When I log onto that manager computer, it sometimes looks like the VFB has hanged. No progression on the buckets. Sometimes when this happens, it actually seem to finish later on with buckets still visually hanging in the VFB, and the render passes are being saved out. The problem is the days when I don't have time to wait to see if it finishes. If it hangs for real, I can have a delivery/deadline problem, as we're running on tight schedules. Also restarting the job puts me back if it is still rendring.

 

So I'd like to have a "% of buckets finished" feedback from backburner. Do anybody know if such thing exists somehow? Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of. That would be nice.
