This rollout lets a rendering job send email notifications, as network rendering does. Such notifications can be useful when you launch a lengthy render, such as an animation, and don't care to spend all your time near the system doing the rendering.

Interface

Enable Notifications—When on, the renderer sends an email notification when certain events happen. Default=off.

Categories group

Notify Progress—Sends emails to indicate rendering progress. An email is sent every time the number of frames specified in Every Nth Frame has completed rendering. Default=off.

Every Nth Frame—The number of frames used by Notify Progress. Default=1.

Tip: If you turn on Notify Progress, almost certainly you want this value to be greater than the default!

Notify Failures—Sends an email notification only if something occurs to prevent the completion of a rendering. Default=on.

Notify Completion—Sends an email notification when a rendering job is complete. Default=off.

Email Options group

From—Enter the email address of the person who initiates the rendering job.

To—Enter the email address of the person who needs to know the rendering status.

SMTP Server—Enter the numeric IP address of the system you use as a mail server.
