tried a lot of configurations but couldn't figure out how to solve this combination:
What I am looking for is to send a job to the render node AND activate the daemon on my workstation occasionally (i.e. when leaving the office).
So while the render node is rendering already, I'd like to link in my workstation as a daemon.
I have a workstation with C4D + Standalone + C4D Plugin - works perfect.
I have a renderfarm with one render node that has C4D + Standalone + C4D Plugin installed - works, if I use it locally (aka remote desktop).
What also works is network rendering: starting the daemon on that render node, so I can use C4D locally AND the render node / daemon together.
When sending a C4D/octane job via Deadline, this render node does it's job - perfect, but local GPUs are used only.
Question is: since it's a command line based render on the render node, does it not look out for daemons? Or how can I force my workstation into this running render job? Of course I would be happy if it's only starting with the "next task", not the current rendering frame.
Last thing I tried was to open the slave on my workstation and tell him, that the render node is the master, like
octane_slave --net-master-port 21000 --net-master-address IP_of_my_rendernode
Thanks for reading this
Any help is appreciated,
