The cloud tab in 3Delight Display is a general monitoring tool of the progresses of your ongoing cloud renderings. It monitors not only the rendering as it happen in 3Delight Display's image view, but any cloud rendering happening under your account — such as renderings launched using the command lines and renderings launched using other applications or on another computer at another location.
Cloud activity tab in 3Delight Display
Here is a complete description of the content of the dialog.
| Indicates the rendering of a sequence of images. Clicking on the arrow will expand it to list all images within the sequence that are at some stages of the rendering process. |
|---|---|
| Icon of the application used to lunch the rendering. Currently there are: Maya, Render (Maya Batch), Katana, Katana Batch, renderdl (3Delight's command line). Shown here is the icon for renderdl. | |
STARTED | Time at which the rendering process was started. |
MINUTES | The number of cloud minutes spent so far on the rendering process. This is counted as a quantity of 24-core-minutes usage, not user time. For the first 3 minutes, the quantity is displayed in seconds. |
CORES | The number of cores used by the rendering process. This will vary over time. |
STATUS | Indicates the status of the process — such as Syncing, Starting, Rendering, Completed, Waiting, Aborted, etc. The list of reported statuses is described in detail here. |
| This icon will be shown while hovering a rendering process on the list. Click to cancel that rendering process. |
When a rendering process is finished (successfully or not), it continues to be listed for one hour (using a subdued shade).
