Yesss. TIG thank you very much. Just tried it and smoothing works !

I have tested Octane 1022 1023 10243 and 10244 with both the latest exporter and the previous one.
I get identical rendering results with perfect smoothing as expected - so I can see no issues ?
Here's a zip containing most of the permutations... test scene obj _ocs_skp.zip Here is also a ...

It seems like the smoothing problem is not only with the sketchup exporter but lightwave too? I really want to know where the problem is

Hi guys,

abstrax pointed me here, regarding smoothing issues,
we did not make any changes to this area between releases, so i am pretty certain this is an exporter issue...

can someone please export a working smoothed object with the older one, and a broken one with the newer and post it here ...

Have you tried it with a fresh OCS name - there might be something in the 10243 version that's messing with the smoothing in 10244 OCS if it's a continuation of the same OCS ?

Did reformat my HDD did a fresh install of octane 1024 and latest exporter but still no luck :( . I tried your solution ...

Strange..latest Octane version installed again with latest SU exporter, but no smoothing at all . I might reformat my system to see if it is gonna work.

I did find out that anny.obj opened without the exporter will be smoothed

Hi TIG,
Thanks for looking into it.

Hi TIG,
Have you tried SU exporter 1022-14 with the new Octane 1024 beta 244 exe?
For me the smoothing works with that combination.
so conclusion:

Octane exe 1024 (latest build) do not works with SU exporter 1024-01 (latest build)
Octane exe 1024 (latest build) works with SU exporter 1022-14 ...

@ Tig,

Here is skp file with the obj and octane file included.

abu,

I see that you have the same problem with smoothing like I am.
