Hi Simon,
A few questions:

• I have 2 RTX2080S gpus - when using this latest version, how do I enable RTX?

• I also have an NV link. Any relevance for it with this latest version?

•

Thanks,
Rick

It can be enabled from the devices tab in the octane render settings. It can also be enable in the standalone. I haven’t tried nvlink myself.

Was drag and drop material ever implemented for Carrara version?

[ChrisFox]

Just wondering, Octane 4 for Carrara was still a free update for non subscription users, will this also be a free update or do i have to pay for an update?

Still test animation rendering in Octane with Genesis 8 Characters.
