Monitoring the Rendering Progress¶

Progress settings are available in the settings panel Settings panel (⚙) ‣ Monitoring Here you can create a tracking link to see progress on the mobile App. You can also save out rendering progress information to files (PNG & TXT).

Using the monitoring App¶

First you need to generate a unique tracking link by clicking the GENERATE TRACKING LINK button. Then move to the monitoring App installation guide.

Warning

Your tracking informations won’t be visible to anyone unless you share your tracking link

Screenshot¶

If you specify a cloud based folder (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, One Drive…) in the settings, then you can access progress informations remotely.

Save Blender rendering log files¶

Sometimes it can be useful to save all the console output, it contains all the rendering logs from Blender itself and from add-ons. Be sure to enable Save Blender rendering logs in the settings panel.
