Hi,
For quite some time I'm trying to launch Octane in the background for animation rendering, but it doesn't work on Windows. I'm using the command line parameters "-e" and "-q" during animation rendering and Octane doesn't show a splash screen, opens a window that is not maximized, not minimized, but what is quite annoying, it always grabs the window focus, i.e. your 3D app loses focus. Because of that it's not possible to do animation renderings in the background.
I'm using the Windows call "CreateProcessW" to launch Octane and am testing on Windows 7 64-bit. Has anyone been successful launching Octane in the background on Windows? If yes, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Marcus
