No Frost progress in Deadline Task Status?

[nixx]

not sure if this is a beta thing or just a deadline thing.
Recently i’ve been using frost and notice that there is no frost update status in the Task render status.
Instead it stays on “preparing tone operator.-100%” for hours.

There are around 6 million of particles being prepared with frost which takes a while.
would be great to see this reflected in the render status.

the one running at 3 days is a realflow job. the others are max jobs rendering in Vray.
the one mentioning the transformation matrix update is the win 8.1 machine spoken of in my previous post.
somehow that one always shows this message instead of the prepare tone operator.
would be nice to have a better idea what’s going on within the render

I’m going to discuss with the Frost developers to get their thoughts.

Thanks!

I spoke with Paul, and this appears to simply be a Max thing. The render progress is only for the renderer itself – it doesn’t include the progress of evaluating scene objects.

Cheers,
