You want to render different settings in one scene.
I thougt you want to render the full scene and then render the same with other settings.

Hmm now i'm not sure i understand what you mean;] I don't see the contradiction between the two.
I want to render with (full scenes or not) with different setups from one XSI scene. Using different OCS files if needed for every pass.
Altough it would be preferrable to choose different RenderTargets from one OCS file.
One of the reasons for that is precisely rendering the full scene and then rendering the same with other settings (other lighting scenario, other kernel, different resolution for previews and final outpout, renders from different Octane versions for comparison, etc).
So basically what i want is a variant of the RenderManager with overrides system.
Now that utility passes are available this would come in handy.

Maybe some values are better to overwrite with an expression.
It´s also possible that some values aren´t set correct when you slide over the timeline, but at rendertime it should work.

It's very strange. Both versions worked perfectly all night, but suddenly everything is broken. Same scenes that worked, all versions of the compound.
I get the same error over and over again and it crashes everything - invalid path ... (every path seems to be invalid now).
I think i broke the plugin
or the compounds got corrupted. I'll try to reinstall Soft2Octane and rebuild the compound.
Thanks for taking a look ;]
