Render Statistic GUI

To enhance the optimization of rendering times for scenes, it would be valuable to gain insights into the duration of each frame's rendering process. My vision involves the incorporation of a timeline graph that visually illustrates the fluctuations in render time per frame.

 

During the rendering process, this timeline graph could be discretely tucked away beneath an arrow icon, conveniently positioned on the left side of the progress bar. This ensures a seamless user experience without any distractions. Once the rendering is complete, users should have the option to access this graph in the render panel, where it would remain hidden by default beneath each rendered item.

 

This approach is akin to how Windows displays progress during file copy operations in a pop-up box. To prevent unnecessary clutter in computer storage, these statistics could be automatically erased when items are removed from the render panel.

Hey!

thanks. 
I know about the snail in the timeline panel.

But sometimes render time and ram preview time are not the same for reason I don't know.

 

plus the suggestion I am making is after render completion. Meaning we could have a better understanding of where the render was slower.

 

This statistics is already available in the logs... I think it would be easy to grab this information and make a graph of it.

Click on the Snail icon in the footer of the timeline window. That will open up a Render Time column that will show you how long each layer / comp is taking to render.
