So I had a question about running octane on a Mac pro trashcan. So I cannot render with it because it does not have a cuda card, but is there any way I can utilize network rendering to render on a machine that does have cuda cards?

Basically I want to use octane on my trash can but outsource the rendering to another computer.

Hi mrviviano,
currently, you can do it only with the Blender plugin:

but the headless rendering will be introduced also in Standalone and plugin, in one of the future SDK.
In the mean time, the only alternative is the eGPU solution via Thunderbolt:

It seems also that AMD is doing progress in fixing the drivers for supporting OctaneRender, so... fingers crossed :)
