hi,
thanks for tips...

to easy use you create on ddesktop(or wherever) a shortcut of "octane_slave.exe"

right click on this shortcut >properties> and add in target field :" --net-master-port 21000 --net-master-address 192.168.0.xxx"

(eg:"C:\Program Files\OTOY\OctaneRender 2.00\octane_slave.exe" --net-master-port 21000 --net-master-address 192.168.0.111)
dont loose the space aftre ....\octane_slave.exe"SPACE--net-master-port....

cheers

The overhead is much worse than expected.
With a 1Gb/s network, so ~100MB/s bandwith, octane only uses about 3MB/s in each direction.
Is this a setting somewhere we missed?

Sorry, but there is still need two licenses for standalone, right?. C4d plugin does not work even if you do not insert the license Stand Alone

Hello! I use Cinema 4D R15 and Octane 2 (2.03 - standalone, 2.01 - for cinema 4d). And I have 2 computers with licenses. I need use Network Render in Cinema 4D via Octane plugin for Cinema 4d.
If I do like you, then I see "Lunching bla-bla-bla...", but if I run "Start Daemon....." so I see my parametrs (port and ect.), but Octane for Cinema 4D don't use 2nd computer (write me: "other version" or "unavailble"), but I have same version.

Please, Help me!(

I got the network rendering working in the standalone app, but inside C4D I only get "Invalid Version" under status. Is it something to do with the C4D plugin only being version 2.03 and the standalone is version 2.04? I don't see any other 2.x versions to download for either one..
