Technical Question: What is Octane doing exactly, when it says 'updating'?

We all know that Octane render takes a long time preparing scene before it actually starts rendering. Now my question is — what is it doing? Even after it's finished preparing Materials and Meshes, it takes significant ...

Baking FTW!
Merry Christmas to all of you and of course to Aoktar, who is our Santa Clause!

Network Rendering Administration right now is painful for bigger setups.

Sorry for OT,

HAPPY NIKOLAUS to all you Octane C4D peeps and massive thanks to Aoktar for his amazing work.
We thought you might enjoy this little fun piece - all rendered in Octane, of course. (except the fire)

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Re: Network rendering

Slaves are all windows, windows standalone sees them, windows C4D plugin doesn't see any slaves, the list is just empty.

If we do the same from a Mac Master, it does see all the windows slaves, from C4D plugin as well as from the standalone.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, we're still having issues with Network rendering.
We have the Standalone 2.12.1 installed on all slaves, Standalone + C4D 2.12.1 the master.
The C4D Plugin can't see the slaves. From inside the Standalone, we do see them.

Thanks,

User configureable path for material lib would be great! That way multiple artists could share a central library on a network share.
