Are there plans to make a render region option in Octane? It would be a big time saver for me.

+1!
I agree with Paquito. In complex scenes it would be quite useful to have the option to isolate an area of the render or an object of the scene.

When i have to render very big image and don't have enough ram (i suppose it's vram problem because i can't render images larger than 5000px)
I' used to render a sort of region that way :

I order to render very big image, i cut it by 4 (6000x4000 => 4x 3000x2000) :
then double the fov of the camera and play with the camera shift (-0.5,-0.5 / -0.5,0.5 / 0.5,-0.5 / 0.5,0.5)
You just have to rebuild the image in photoshop.

Well...it's not so much about rendering large images, but re-rendering certain parts of image that have changed or are not clean enough.
Would be a lot faster to render a smaller region than entire image.

Or you need to render only a part of an image to match the image crop exactly

More than a render region tool, I would love to see a smart sampler, as explained in this topic: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic. ... er#p120775
