Hi,

pausing would'nt be ok, i'd rather add a frame offset so you can recommence rendering at frame X,
say if you already have rendered 150 frames, you set the offset to 151 and it will continue.

A Frame offset would help, but only if you can remember or record all the other settings for that specific animation.
How about dumping all variables to a file, along with saving status of completed frames as each is finished or a simple algorithm to check the output dir for finished frames.

we're adding a frame offset in 2.2

sometime next week.
besides the multi-gpu, we're also solving many reported bugs and adding some much requested features.

Dumb question - does multi-GPU need/use/ignore SLI?

no, we use each device separately.
in fact, if you enable SLI, you won't be able to use those cards in octane 2.2

Thanks. I'll have to look into turning it off while I wait for your latest.
