Title: Render time and noise level to be shown in saved CXR render file
Post by: Pooya Madani on 2024-04-18, 08:23:59

When saving the render file as CXR, it would be great if we can see the noise level and render time for that render.

Corona has always been a bit stingy with stats data (and logging) and a convenient option to access it would be nice (at least in CIE), yes. Additionally all stats should be included in EXR metadata as well at best.

But Corona already stores the most important info in CRXs. Use exiftool (https://exiftool.org/) to extract it like:

Code: [Select]

exiftool -CoronaStats* -CoronaRenderStamp* yourfile.cxr
And note that the renderstamp is always saved into the CRX, even when not activated in the render settings. So you can use it to store various data additionally. if you write a batch with something like above, you can even integrate it into windows explorer context menu of CXR files (image).


Good Luck
