Thanks a lot, Dan.
I assume always that I might miss something, hence why I invest time to stress all (?) options. With the large amount of functions in C4D, it is easy to miss one, or two
Anyway, the main philosophy is, it should be straight forward to do, as far as possible, without scarifying functionality. If there is no option to get it properly working, even following the manual, then it needs attention.
The “Total Average Output” shows me that it works, while moving the time-slider. The Priority settings have an influence, but I haven’t found a working sweet-spot either.
I have had RMC on the Total Average Output, to create a Driver, and then used this in an Text Object to be driven absolute, so I can see during the rendering if that value is given. It is stuck with the value where the editor view time is. I guess that should be easily fixable.
