Modo not reporting progress

Alcium · January 23, 2013, 5:39pm

Modo is not reporting progress within deadline although it shows in the slave log
If this could be fixed it would be great

Could you post the log? We can use that as a reference.

Thanks!

As soon as logging issue is fixed

Kidding apart I’ll try and take this directly from a slave

Edit :

Here we go with copy of a log from slave until progress is shown (attached)
modo-log.txt (40.1 KB)

By the way, I don’t know if it’s due to our setup,
but once modo starts pure rendering after loading,
it really spams the log, and makes deadline slave go high on cpu usage to be able to display all log …

does that talk to you ?

Thanks for the info. We’ll have to run some more tests with modo, but we should be able to get progress reporting working. Perhaps we can suppress this progress stdout as well to avoid large logs and keep the slave’s load at a minimum.

Cheers,

Can you post a really simple scene (no external textures or other assets) that logs progress like this? We have some test scenes here, and I can’t get any of them to produce any output other than the following:

0: STDOUT: ! (render) Render Frame 1
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)    ) Frame: 1
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)       ) Time: 5.7s
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)       ) Settings
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Size: 720 x 480
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Threads: 4
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) AA Samples: 8
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)       ) Geometry
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Surfaces: 1
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Segments: 56
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Vertices: 6683
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Polygons: 8832
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Nodes: 8832
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)       ) Memory
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Geo Cache: 1.14 MB
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Light Cache: 0.10 KB
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Irrad Cache: 0.00 KB
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Bucket: 8.05 MB
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)          ) Frame: 5.27 MB
0: STDOUT: ! ((render)    ) Render Complete

Thanks!

Heh, nevermind, I just found this:
sdk.luxology.com/wiki/Network_Re … nformation

Turning on this option did the trick.

Good to see you can get active on that, this progress report is really missing to us

Also if by a way you can handle file output in the right click of a task that would be paradise

rrussell · February 14, 2013, 6:37pm

The progress reporting should be working in beta 13.

We’ll add the task right-click option to the wish list. Currently, we do have the job right-click -> Job Output menu for modo jobs to allow you to explore the output folder, but this only works if you specify the output path in the modo submitter. We should be able to best-guess the the extension based on the output format and build up the full path so the task right-click works, but again this would only work if you are specifying the output in the submitter.

Cheers,

Ryan
