seems like scene evaluation takes forever when we have fire and liquids in the scene. Even though scene can be 2-3gb it takes 5 minutes or more to open octane viewport.

and it is on master. Slaves take even longer




and still after rendering is over and then continuing working and clicking open ...

Seriously, I'm pretty much done with Octane and switching over to FStorm. Rendering a scene without getting stuck on "Scene Evaluation" is like a hit-or-miss
