One feature I really miss from the standalone (besides LiveDB, but I know you are working on that)
Material Picker!
I don't know if this is possible within C4D, but It would be really awesome if we could just pick a material in the Octane preview window and have that automagicly opened in the attributes window of C4D.

Great tip Aoktar, have been searching on how to open multiple C4D instances on one machine.
I found another bug: if you work with the preview window for a while, and you decide to render a full frame with the renderer (shift+r), the preview size has changed after that.
I would like to thank you for your hard work on the plugin, I just bought it and I already love it. I got used to the standalone, but it's so much easier this way. I'm sure you'll get rid of the bugs soon, It's been running pretty good here up until now.
welcome and enjoy it.
plugin gives much different possibilities. We did very fast development, because of interest of people. So somethings is not perfect or missing. But most critical features is there. Also some good features on the way.
keep your interest
@mauricesteenberge: Hi, material picker will done soon

I just created a new desktop shortcut with the -parallel added, and named it C4D Multi
So now you can choose if you start a single instance or multiple. (in case you click too many times).
Screenshot included.

Ok thanks for reply,
For clarify for me :

net render and also render queue rendering. So have all possibilites for rendering except distribute one frame on multiple machines.
d3d-design:
currently yes, need seperate copies. But you can ask for that to Otoy
