When will get the ability to work on a mac, but render using the mac and a LAN connected PC? Is this months away or coming soon?

It's been "coming soon" for months.... and months and months and...

interested as well, here

The reason I ask is I think Jules or someone had a post on the Octane Facebook group saying it was coming in version xxxx.x - I can't find the post anymore though...

I need to know when headless rendering will be implemented - I am currently applying for a grant to upgrade my main computer. I have two choices - a Mac Pro 2019 with 6800x duo or similar, or I could buy a monster PC, thread ripper and 2 x 3090s for the same kind of money.

I do not want to switch to PC completely, but for Octane use I'd be happy to use the PC as a render slave, with OSX as a front end.

I need to know if headless rendering will affect performance, but more importantly will it happen and if it is happening, then when???

let's cross fingers!

It's coming in Octane 2022. I'm sure I read somewhere it was coming in version 2021, so I'm not convinced it will make it into 2022. If it does though that will be an amazing release with Brigade and the new caustics kernel coming too.
