How can I check the rendertime?
I haven't found anything in mplay?
I'm more interested in mplay then in batch rendering now.

Thanks

Peter

In the Mantra ROP, go to the Command field and click the little “+” icon - in the Output tab of the popup window that appears you can set verbosity options.

It'll add a "-V " flag to the mantra command line which'll cause Mantra to print stats to the console. You'll only be able to see this output if you launched Houdini from a shell on linux though. If you're running it from windows you must add another option to cause mantra to send the output to an additional window:


mantra -V 3 -o consolewait
-or
mantra -V 3 -o consolenowait

Thanks, it works only the time is returned in some strange units.

Seconds aren't all that strange

You're interested in the biggest number. The others mean “load time” and such.

Haha, when I first saw that line with something very precise I thougt It was about grains of sand

cheers
