Post render event - KeyShot 10

Help and Troubleshooting
1

We have a few KeyShot 10 licenses and are doing rendering that ends in the middle of the night. Does KeyShot have ability to call an app when a render is complete so we can perform an action on the output of the render?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Hi Lee - I asked Don Tuttle our Global Training Specialist and this was his response:

If they are using a render farm Yes the manager supports Email notifications.https://manual.keyshot.com/manual/getting-started/setup/manager-setup/
Email

Enable email notifications
When email notifications are enabled Network rendering will notify the admin email in the selected situations.
Users who have entered their email in the account settings (in the monitor) will receive an email when a job is completed.
SMTP Settings
In order for the email notifications to work you need to connect a mail account for the outgoing mail

  • Host/Port – Fill in Host and Mail Client Port. You can find this information in your email client settings.
  • TLS – You can enable TLS/SSL or leave it unchecked. If you do enable it, make sure to use ports 465 or 587.
  • Authentication – Enable and fill in your username and password for the outgoing mail.
  • Check settings – The Configurator will check your email settings and provide you with a confirmation message.

Please consult your IT department for any troubleshooting when setting up SMTP.

I believe that is the only way to do that. Hope this helps a little.

Thanks. Yeah we do not have a render farm ( don’t believe). Is there by chance a temp file while it renders and when it is done goes away we could use as a trigger?
