Hi,

I'm new here. Please tell me if I'm completely missing what Octane does. I would like to take a .OBJ file I drew in CAD and apply color and texture to it and export a file or a couple of files that I can then bring into AfterEffects plugin Element 3D so I can create some video footage. I can do ...

Thank you Beppe! It worked.

Now I have another question, but will have to start another post about 'how to export a .mtl file, or something like it to accompany my .objs, so I can bring them into AfterEffects plugin Element 3D and make video footage'.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Beppe,

Yes, Rhino for modeling and/or converting the file(s) from .STL. and Octane as the Stand Alone.

Hi,

Octane is holding something in its file because it says I have 52K ...

Hi,

Just starting with Octane, and notice the display looks like it's not taking advantage of my Retina display. Is there some sort of setting to adjust here, or is this because I have the Demo version?

Thank you.
