Render Notify Text Message

[Todd Kopriva]

You can use the render_and_email.jsx script to render all queued render items and then send you an email message when you’re done. Ko Maruyama has a tutorial that walks through the steps; it’s a little old, but it’s still good:

Note that Ko mentions that you can send the email as a text message to your mobile phone. In case you didn’t know it, most text message systems allow you to send text messages as email messages. In the US, the email address is usually the ten-digit phone number followed by a string specific to the service provider, like this:

Cingular: tendigitphonenumber@cingularme.com
Nextel: tendigitphonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
Sprint: tendigitphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile: tendigitphonenumber@tmomail.net
Verizon: tendigitphonenumber@vtext.com
Virgin Mobile: tendigitphonenumber@vmobl.com

Thanks, Ko!

I took at look at Ko’s tutorial, very good. But what specifics to I enter when the script asks about mail servers, etc.?

I guess that’s a question for your IT person, since everyone’s email system may be different.
