Paul, I sent you a PM with a detailed description with examples from our project to explain the issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

Can you link us to the Otoy devs thread that discusses the slower rendering speed using area render? I want to understand why this is.

Hi Aaron

Replying here rather than to your PM in case others have the same question.

I think that the Octane Render Region will not do exactly what you are after. It is designed to focus the rendering to a particular part of the viewport so that you can adjust materials, lights, etc and quickly see the outcome. It is not a final render tool (at the moment). In your case, if you want to reduce noise, have you looked at other options other than rendering a very large resolution and reducing in Photoshop? For example, setting caustic_blur may allow you to render at the final image size you want (and render much much faster). There is also the GI clamp if you are using IBL images.

For more info on render region (look for Abstrax's replies)...
