Otoy’s licensing options continue to change since I originally recorded this video, so please review the network rendering limitations with your license. Also, be sure to use the same version for both the Standalone and DCC plug-in. 🚀

Great video. It's very jarring and easy to see the "chunks" of the live viewer that my send machine is working on. Makes it hard to work with clients for they dont always understand. Is there any way for nodes to help render the image in unison with the main workstation so these dark squares dont flood the live viewer?

I have no "Network Rendering" section on the left side when I go into preferences for Octane Studio app.

This video has been amazingly helpful.
I currently have 1 PC for work and 9 PCs for rendering, cinema4d & DCC Plug-ins are installed on 1 PC for work and
Can OctaneRender Enterpise Render Node be installed on 9 PCs for rendering + 1 PC for work?

I thought I could make a pipeline with just one cinema4d and one OctaneRender Enterpise.

I ask because I want to subscribe at a minimum cost.

Can this work if you're on Octane X, and want to utilize the PC's in the network?

Got any tips for optimizing the data in your scene to render faster. I feel like every time I render it’s different amounts of data everytime. Sometimes it’s not much and my gpus kick on right away and sometimes they just sit there and take forever to download the scene data… per frame. It’s weird. Thank you!

In my case I've connected my other machine and it says my network render nodes are running, yet sometimes I still get a "NetRender: 0/0" and "Slaves: 0" Any idea what the issue might be? Any tips for making the connection more stable?
