Total Bake Time

Does anyone know how to find out how long my light bake takes in total? I think this can be found in the Editor.log file but it’s very difficult to parse through the data.

Thanks in advance.

Could be nice to have a timer for that.

Find out the substring in to editor log that will contain the information you want and write a script to search for those occurrences and print you what the value of last one found in the log.

I did some digging and found this message in the Editor.log, which reads like it could be what I’m looking for.
“[01:42:40] Enlighten: Bake took 1859.171437 seconds.”

Thanks for the help.

Please have in mind that if your scene uses mostly realtime lights, the message you are looking for is “Precompute took”

Understood, In this particular scene there are no real time objects so everything is baked.
