No its the Ai light thing in octane settings, as far as i understand when activated, it alters the sampling rate for individual lights in the scene, raising or lowering to make the render more efficient. So not sure why that would cause a box in my render, unless there is some issue with that process being completed via the network, even though Ive not seen that before!
Now, we want to buy the Octane Cinema4D Plugin and the Octane Standalone Version, to use the Octane Cinema4D Plugin inside Cinema4D as our Renderengine. Is it still possible for Deadline to render these Files from cinema4D now with Octane as the RenderEngine? Could there be a problem? Or is this nothing, Deadline cares about?
The way that Deadline works, sending a command line instruction to C4D, it should work assuming Octane can work in such and environment, and the scene file can contain the information on the renderer. I would verify with the makers of Octane that their renderer will work for a command line C4D render with no UI.
When we analyze the log here, it looks like there is an issue when there is no monitor present, which causes it to die pretty badly. I would check with the folks at Octane and see if this is something they can rule out when a network, command line render is happening.
