Now supports Growl system notifications on OS X and Prowl iPhone push Notifications.

I have upgrade Hangover to v1.8 and it now gives you the option of sending push notifications to your iPhone in addition to Growl system notifications. Please be aware that you need to purchase the Prowl app from the App Store for $2.99 to receive Prowl notifications. Growl system notifications require you have Growl installed on you system. Hangover will install the necessary additional Growl files so Cinema 4d can alert Growl when a batch render is done. You do not need to have Growl installed to receive Prowl iPhone notifications.

At the moment, Growl notifications are only supported on MacOS X. I hope to have this option working on Windows in the future but since I don't have a Windows box and no Cinema 4d license for Windows at the moment, it is hard to test. Prowl will work if you own an iPhone regardless of whether you run MacOS X or Windows. If you own an Android device, you can try using the Android-notifier. Sorry, I can't guarantee this will work but if you try it, please let me know your results. I will truly be grateful.

I am working on another version of Hangover with some premium features that I hope to release in the future. If you are interested in beta testing it, please shoot me an email and I will be glad to send you a beta version of the plugin.

Again, thank you for trying out Hangover and hopefully it saved you from having to babysit that render or setting off a render on a Friday night just to find out Monday morning it crashed halfway !
