Is it possible to render using just remote render-node GPUs, and have it not us thee local GPU that's in the workstation running DAZ?

Hi MasterWayZ,

Thank you for the post.

Unfortunately, it's not possible yet.
The Octanerender node app is similar to the Deadline worker.. It just listens for render data or commands from the Master node.
The scene data still needs your local GPU to compile the scene and distribute the frames across the network.

However, as you already know, we can select which GPU to use on both the render node and the main workstation.

cheers
