stevegh Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Forgive the noob question but how can I see a render in MPlay while writing a file out? I've tried throwing `mantra -H localhost` but it seems like it is just rendering with 40% of my cpu and no MPlay comes up. Edit: And `mantra -i` is what I was after. Sorry for taking up space!

stevegh Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I spoke too soon. That flag will send the filestream to MPlay but not to disk. Is there no way to have both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleer001 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) You can open up an Mplay and through there file->open the image when you want to see it, aka refesh it manually. Thankfully Mplay can show unfinished files (unlike some programs). Or you can render it to ip and then save when you're done.

stevegh Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks kleer. I didn't know MPlay could open partially rendered files. This request was submitted as an RFE by Silvina, though it made me think of that Nuke demo I saw where there was a node written that could listen for renders (any renderer) and display the output as it finished. Depending on how long the RFE takes/if it takes maybe this is the other way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
