Osero Suite: Render Results Screen

UE Marketplace Link: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/osero-suite-render-results-screen

A user-friendly render results screen for the Movie Render Queue with rendering stats.

The Osero Suite Render Results Screen adds a super easy window popup triggered when a render is finished through the Movie Render Queue. Wondering how your render went while you were away from your PC? Wondering which shot the render crashed on? Wondering how long a sequence took to render? These questions can be answered by adding the Osero Suite Render Results Screen to your project!

This plugin also comes with a simple line graph that can show you which shots and sequences take the longest to render! It also lets you rerender the whole pipeline or just rerender the failed shots from where the previous render was interrupted with two simple buttons!

UE versions: 5.1 – 5.3.

How To Use

The plugin should be active by default if the plugin is enabled. If the plugin is enabled but the results screen is not showing up, go to Edit > Project Settings… > Plugins > Osero Suite: Render Results Screen Settings > General and tick on Use Osero Suite Movie Render Pipeline Classes. This is also how you can disable it if you need to use other Movie Pipeline classes, such as render farm executors.

Extra Variables in Jobs

When adding jobs to a Render Queue, there are two new variables available:

Output Directory Override: A quick and easy modification of the output location for multiple jobs at once
Split Shots Into Folders: Allows for quick organisation by rendering each shot into its own “Shot Name” subfolder in the output directory.

Result Messages

When a render finishes, it will show one of four messages:

Render Successful: The whole render completed successfully and there were no crashes or interruptions.
Render Interrupted: Generally appears when the render is cancelled by the user (ie, the ‘x’ button was pressed on the render window).
Render Failure: Generally appears when there is a discrepency between the render result determined by this plugin and the render. Ie, the render might return a success code but not all shots were actually rendered.
Render Error: Generally appears when a render crashes or finishes unsuccessfully.

Results Screen Actions

Overview Panel

View Render Graph: Open a line graph of all of the job render times.
Copy Text: Copy the text in the Overview Panel to the platform clipboard so that it can be pasted somewhere else (eg, to keep track of render times or to show a manager how long it takes to render).
Show Individual Shot Times: Toggle the individual shot render times on and off in the Shot Results Panel.

Shot Results Panel

Open Render Location (…): Open the Output Directory of this job in File Explorer.
