Possible to Render While Still Editing / Previewing

[berwickredan]

Hey everyone -

I'm sorry for the basic question, but I'm trying to see if there is a network setup I can put into place allowing me to send scenes for render while still being able to edit and use the live viewer. I know I could use RNDR or ORC, but we have a couple extra machines (each with 2 GPUs) that we might as well use. @beppe has been helpful in letting me know I could get another Studio license for the other machine. But I'm curious if leveraging a network setup will allow me to send a scene to the other GPUs to be rendered, while continuing to work with LV? Instead of just combining all GPUs and rendering out the scene - including the master GPU.

Is this possible? Thanks!

Not possible from same C4D. But you can run second Cinema4D same time as network master or render host.
use -parallel keyword to open second C4D

Thanks for the quick response, aoktar!

I assume I'd need a second license of everything, correct?

No if you're doing on same machine

Awesome, thank you so much for steering me in the right direction.
