Measuring frame/playback rate in Maya

[Ravi Jagannadhan]

Hi there, I need to automate some testing in Maya and am looking to script something that will measure the playback performance. Does anyone have a scriptlet that does this already? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your time,

Ravi

Here you go, a scriptlet fresh out of the oven. Untested, but you get the gist.

import time
from maya import cmds

cmds.currentTime(1)  
t0 = time.time()
cmds.currentTime(2)  
t1 = time.time()
duration = t1 - t0
print("The time taken was %.2f s" % duration)
print("%d fps" % (1 / duration))

From here, you could measure across multiple frames and draw a plot or to a median/average, or measure a specific frame or section of frames. You could disable viewport rendering, or call it from mayapy for results not including rendering. On Linux, you may want to use time.clock(), or not. Etc. etc.
