Figure 1: Render Setup Button 

For the most part, you can leave the settings at default.To get started, focus should be placed on a few settings in the Kernel and Devices Tabs which will contribute considerably to render time and quality (figure 2). Specifically:

Kernel Tab 

• Render width - Width of the rendered image in OctaneRender® Viewport (figure 3).
• Render height - Height of the rendered image in OctaneRender Viewport (figure 3).
• Max. Samples- Lower samples render faster, but with lower quality. Higher samples render slower, but with higher quality (figure 4).

Devices Tab 

• Active - Select the Active GPU device(s) used for Octane, then apply the settings (figure 5).
