Hello. I'm rendering scenes through Deadline using the Octane plugin for Maya. I found that the scenes were only rendering on 1 GPU. (there are 3 in each of my render nodes). Is the selection in the Octane Render settings to use all of the GPUs set per project or is it set for any project in Maya?

Thanks.

The GPU settings are stored with the scene.

Any way to override that? The artists' workstations don't have as many GPUs so they cannot properly set the GPU count in their scene before submitting.

Thanks.
