OK,
thanks aoktar,
maybe one day ...

In that case you can leverage free GPU cycles by running 2 rendering processes simultaneously, so the GPU calculations should "fill in" the idle time.

Can you explain how you would do that using C4D, C4D-plugin and Octane ?
My experiments halted when running out of memory on my GPU's.

thanks ...

You're right about the "simple scenes", but there are more conditions where this would apply.
When rendering scenes with a lot, or heavy mesh-updates,
when cloning (mograph) a lot of animated meshes
and last but not least, when previewing your animations (+- 150 samples)

In my case,
a lot of my 3D ...

In animation it would be good to limit the time GPU's are waiting on the CPU to render.

Before rendering on the GPU there's always some preparation time on the CPU. (depending on how much animated objects there are)
If the CPU could read ahead and cache X number of frames to feed the GPU's ...

You can use command line for that.
I've got 2 shortcuts on my desktop;

For all GPU's;
"C:\Program Files\OTOY\OctaneRender_2_23_2_win64\octane_slave.exe" --net-master-port 21000 --net-master-address 192.168.0.107

For one GPU;
"C:\Program Files\OTOY\OctaneRender_2_23_2_win64\octane_slave.exe" --net ...

The Picture Viewer and Live Viewer have separate checkboxes to enable network rendering;
Picture Viewer --> Render Settings/Octane Renderer
Live Viewer --> Octane Dialog/Options/Network Rendering

Have you enabled both ?

The trick I use is to automate the stoplights,
that way the timeline doesn't get cluttered with keyframes.

Put an Xpresso on the object that is fading,
so it hides the object (red stoplights) when visibility hits zero.

Think i found a small bug;
In LiveViewer when right-clicking the "show in picture viewer" command does'nt work.
The Picture viewer shows a checkerboard-image.
But you'll notice that the Beauty- and Info-passes show up in the layer tab.
This is tested on 2 machines.

The "Octane Dialog" has it's own "Remove Unused Materials",
that one works perfectly.
The copy'ing between documents is a hassle but
I think it's just because C4D doesn't use Mixel Materials.

Before i copy an object to another project, i add a null to that object,
and apply all textures to the null ...
