Re: Render Region and Autosave

[Jason S]

Hi,

Just to share a simple script (gave it another go) that toggles Off and 
On the Autosave pref (if originally On),
fired by an "onBeginFrame" event, which essentially restarts the set 
Autosave counter when a region is drawn.


Initially, perhaps due to something I was missing (or a bug?) running 
-any- command other than LogMessage commands on the 'onBeginFrame' event 
would simply freeze everything.


But! starting jscript timers which in turn (indirectly) ran XSI commands 
seemed to work,
so the Autosave counter is reset (to however amount of minutes) 1/10th 
of a second after drawing a region, or launching a preview.


So you can leave your regular Autosave pref to some 20-30 minutes, and 
never be bothered by your region getting interrupted due to a save 
happening midway, unless you are use to making rather big regions at 
high quality, in which case you may set higher autosave gaps accordingly.


For big frames in HiQ (at the end of lookdev) I personally only launch 
frame renders (which are unnaffected by autosaves anyways).


So let me know if any issue,
Cheers!

With heavy scenes I regularly get lock-ups with the render region is

Are there any hooks for a script or anything that surpress autosave or

regions before triggering?

ooor...
  
  you could install RRays widget as prescribed,  http://traypen.com/rr/bak/rray/SaveRemind.xsiaddon
  the dialog not only reminds but also has a save button on it.
  
  
  but if you want, you can super easily edit it to make it not
  ask you,  and replace the 'Save' with a 'SaveBackupScene',
  
  Then you can make the Q key invoke the region command .. 
  and reset the timer.
  
      function saveRemindOnEndSceneSave_OnEvent( in_ctxt )
    {
        var t = Application.EventInfos( "saveRemindOnTimerEvent"
);
        t.Reset( 60, 180 );
        return false;
    }
  
  which resets it for another 30 mins which should be enough time
  for your region to finish 
  
  Hope that can work,
  J

I'm not a scripter, but I'm sure it would be not too complicated
to setup a recycling timer that calls the save backup command
ever X minutes, 
which could perhaps be paused by replacing the Q with a script
that invokes the region tool, and resets or pauses the backup
timer for say 15-20 min, or however much could be enough time
for how long regions can take at most.

think that is for the render region.

Let us know if you find a trick!

turn off autosave and use manual incremental save instead?

Render Region and Autosave

[Fabian Schnuer Gohde]

Hi,
I thought I'd ask in case anyone has run into this and has a workaround.

With heavy scenes I regularly get lock-ups with the render region is open
and autosave kicks in. This is with redshift so I'm not sure if the problem
is solely there.

Are there any hooks for a script or anything that surpress autosave or is
there some way to do an entirely custom autosave that checks for regions
before triggering?

Best regards,
Fabian
