Mega exciting Beppe! Once again though, does it work in the live viewer and make that faster?
And how does VRAM work? If I have 64GB on a mac and 24GB on a 3090 PC what happens?

Any word on when DCC’s plugins will be updated to this version too?
Stay tuned...

yes sure, it works in Live View too!
About VRAM, obviously you need to keep an eye on scene VRAM consumption, if it is greater than Render-Node VRAM, the Out-of-core option can be activated in Render Node, but render speed contribution goes down.
The mac M1/M2/M3 is the Workstation in Network Rendering, it prepares the scene, starts rendering with internal GPU, and sends the already prepared scene to Render-Nodes.
So the key is to have 10Gbit Ethernet connection/sSwitch or greater, between primary Workstation Mac, and Render-Node machines.
1Gbit Ethernet connection is the minimum, while WiFi connections are not good, there is too much latency.
Btw, there is a little delay in 2024.1 OctaneX version, but it should be ready for the end of this week.
