Submitting your first render
Submitting a render is done directly via the add-on inside Blender. Prior to doing so, you will need to grab your unique configuration key. This key is unique to your own render platform instance and is tied to your own account.
The config can be found on the add-on page, you can click "Copy Blender Config" and paste it into the "Octa Farm Config" field inside the add-on.
You can now configure your add-on and submit the render to the farm. Once you are ready to send the render you need to undertake 2 steps: 1. Start Transfer Manager - Please ensure that the transfer manager has been started before submitting.
