Progress bar not working well with Viewport Capture to File

Rendering

… it displays like 2% for most of the rendering time, then suddenly finishes with 100%. Not particularly meaningful.
Thanks!

Are you using ViewCaptureToFile when Raytraced is the display mode? If you’re on Rhino 7 you could use the Render command instead which will indicate the sample count in the Render window as it calculates.

Hello!
Yes, I’m using Cycles in the display mode, for accurate shadow generation.
Thanks!

I used ViewCaptureToFile in Rhino 6 but in Rhino 7 it’s easier to just use the Render command. The view capture settings in relation to your viewport size and sample count setting for Raytraced can cause you to wait for a rerender too which may be unintentional and what you are seeing as well.

Thanks, understood!
