I think we should be able to set & save as default any setting.

I like how Blender solves the problem of default settings - it reads them form a specially saved .blend file. The same could be for Octane; you would save an .ocs with your defaults and Octane would read it when you open a new scene. No need for special interface to set them.

yes just make the default 64,000 sample

I forget to change to 64000 samples, as a result wasted 7:00 render (



This renders 30 hours to render and did not have enough samples)) it will have to wait again

IMO, it would be better if Octane would allow you to increase (or decrease) the MaxSamples setting without restarting the render. In other words, if you currently have the setting at 16,000 and then the render finishes and it looks like it needs more time, then increase the setting to 32,000 and Octane will just continue on (without restarting the render). It would basically treat the situation (where it hits the MaxSamples) as if you have hit the pause button and then as if you hit the play button (when you increase the MaxSamples).

If anyone is using the unofficial 2.56 script for Blender, I can make it start Octane with 64000 samples in situations were the image is not to be pulled back into Blender.

Just let me know if it makes sense for you.

Elvis, regarding your image, I doubt it will make much difference if you wait 60 hours. Pathtracing an interior with small emitting sources is just not efficient enough - try to find other ways to illuminate your scene.
