Shaderlight for SketchUp 3D Rendering Technology

Shaderlight rendering time/statistics

Apr 15, 2015 06:11am briano32804 Total Posts: 3	I am a relatively new Shaderlight user. Trying to figure out if it is possible to to get rendering statistics from the use of Shaderlight. Example: when I return to work in the morning, how long did my rendering run last night? Does Shaderlight have the ability to log the duration of time that a rendering took to create? Thank you for you time/assistance. Brian OHalloran- Visualization Specialist

Rendering Time 24978.6 I have multiple questions: 1. I started the rendering around 11:00pm last night, not 5:48? 2. what unit is 24978.6? 3. is it seconds? 24978 seconds = 6.93 hours
