It seems exocortex or compiling the alembic source code yourself are really the only options, should anyone come across this later.

Anybody?

The question again is, what types of files can Octane understand that can contain a camera?

If the answer is alembic and nothing then I'd like to know that as well. The plugin doesn't seem to be an option since I it never asked which version and I found it in a maya 2016 folder that it ...

I got my octane license a long time ago and haven't been around in a while. But I just upgraded my graphics card and octane license and have a project I'd like to push through octane if possible.

The issue is that I'm on maya 2012, and won't be upgrading it for this project. I tried the plugin but ...

I had that and figured out a way to make it work, my thread is right above yours. I'm not sure what causes it, but if worked fine if i put the images folder on the desktop. Don't know why that would matter, but there it is.

When I use the animation script, it exports the .obj, then octane starts, it says voxelizing, etc. then octane closes freezes. The .obj that is created is fine, but the animation script doesn't seem to work at all. It does this no matter the scene I am running, I tried it with just a sphere and a ...

I ended up winning Best Director at the fest, kinda cool...

Sure isn't! It was shot on a canon xl-2, not known for its low light performance. But did an admirable job for the most part.

Hello,

In addition to being an Octane enthusiast I am also a director, and my first ever feature film is getting it's premiere this December. I'm sure most of you don't live around the Minneapolis, MN area (though if you do you should come for sure), but I thought I'd just post it here for kicks ...

First off thanks

Secondly...

As for the shadows, that's sort of all built into the renderer. The shadow is there, it's just quite long, so you can't see much of it I think.

You're right about the texture on the oranges. I turned down the normal bump, and increased the roughness to make them seem ...
