You can send your current scene directly to Octane Standalone with this option. When you select this option, the Standalone software will automatically open and import your current scene into the application. The location of Octane Standalone is set in the Paths tab in Octane Settings.

SAVE PASSES IMAGE FROM THE LIVE VIEWER WINDOW:

If you wish, you can save Live Viewer image by using render pass buttons at the bottom right of Live Viewer window. To do this, first enable the Render Pass from the Octane Render setting, then select the pass you want and click the right mouse button. Save the picture.
