This is an addon for Blender that let's you calculate the amount of time needed to render an entire animation.
You have to input the time it takes to render 1 frame or 3 in advanced mode and the addon will calculate the time needed.
Features:
- Simple mode: Only one input, less accurate output
- Advanced mode: Multiple inputs, more accurate output
- Shows total time
- Shows remainig frames
- Shows remaining time
- Shows the estimated finishing time
- Shows progression
Limitations:
- You have to input the time needed to render one or more frames
- The time will be wrong of if it takes more time to render one part of the animation than the other (this is what advanced mode can mitigate)
- Changing the time while rendering complex scenes might cause Blender to freeze but it never crashed on me
Change log:
