It may just be me but I would love to have some type of alert to know when a render has hit maximum samples. I often move to other projects while rendering and it would be very beneficial to have some type of alert.

The next release of the plugin adds a command to let you know if the render is complete. So you should be able to write a simple python script to issue this command each second, and when the status changes from incomplete to complete - make a beep. There is the python script to do exactly this with the OctaneRender for Poser plugin - but it will obviously be a little different for Modo - but it gives you the idea. http://poserphysics.blogspot.com.au/201 ... ering.html. I will post a sample of the Modo python to do this once the next release of the plugin is out.

OK Paul I have tried for a few hours to hack together some script to do the loop checking for the true on the "octane.renderStatus ?" but my lack of coding knowledge has me stumped.

Any quick help would be appreciated.

Hi Carter - I'm not sure I will get time to look at this for some time (since there are a lot of items of higher priority I need to address). If you send me the python code you have so far, I can send some feedback though.
