Getting current render progress or bucket count?

Hi,

I'm trying to get the current frame's render progress when running C4D in CLI mode:

start /b /wait "parentconsole" "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R13\CINEMA 4D 64 BIT.EXE" -nogui […]

As there is no progress information during rendering (see below) I've checked the SDK and Python API for information on how to get the current render progress or, in absence of render progress, the counts of total and done buckets for the current frame, but I couldn't find anything.

c4d.CheckIsRunning

couldn't help, either, as it gives no further progress information.
Any suggestions are appreciated

Hi, there is no built-in solution to make this, maybe just with a hack or a workaround.

Cheers, Seb

with bucket count you mean finished buckets i guess, not the number of rendering buckets ?
the number of rendering buckets is just the number of your cores -> multiprocessing.cpu_count()
