Discord Render Status Plugin

DOCUMENTATION

Description

Stay connected to your Unreal Engine Movie Render Queue jobs without sitting in front of the editor.
Discord Render Status is a Blueprint-based tool that sends live render updates straight to a Discord channel through a webhook.

It provides clear, customizable progress tracking, including:

  • Progress bar

  • Frame count: current frame vs. total frames

  • Samples per frame

  • Elapsed time

  • Estimated time remaining

  • Job name / sequence name

  • Final completion notification

The update frequency is fully adaptive:

  • Set an update interval in seconds.

  • If a frame renders faster than that interval, updates are sent on your chosen schedule.

  • If a frame takes longer than the interval, it updates automatically at frame completion.

This ensures your Discord channel always has the most accurate render status without hitting rate limits

Key Features

  • Blueprint-based: easy to integrate into any Unreal Engine project

  • Designed for Movie Render Queue (UE4 & UE5)

  • Sends live status to Discord via webhook

  • Adaptive update frequency (interval seconds or per-tick when longer)

Why Use It?

You’ll always know how long is left, how far along your render is, and when it’s done - Even on your phone
