Hi Marcus.
i am wondering if it would be possible to export a animation via your exporter in to two instances of octane , so
i can render two parts of a animation at the same time ?at the moment if i render a animation the exporter
is locked with its settings . i hope you know what i mean.
thanks

Yes, I know what you mean. What I don't understand is why you want to do that, since both instance of Octane will render on the same GPUs, i.e. each instance will be only half as fast. Why not render one animation and then the other one. The total render time should be about the same.

Cheers,
Marcus

thanks for your reply.

it would be nice to render a sequent s with 1 gpu and in the same time tweak the 2 sequent s
with the 2. gpu to make it ready for rendering .
thanks
