Hi,

I could solve same issue on Ubuntu by installing "ttf-mscorefonts-installer". I don't know what is the equivalent for Fedora but it worked for me.

Lionel, are you still around (he shouts into the air). I know that the official blender integration is coming but for now it really would be good if the exporter could be patched.

Sorry Steve, I've been too busy during the last 12 months and my new responsibilities don't let me enough free time ...

In fact the exporter only expects path names, as the file names for the pictures will be based on the project name

If you're using blender 2.63, and have the following error when doing animations or pulling image back into blender:
TypeError: OCT_RENDER.end_result(): required parameter "cancel" not specified

then please do the following:
- find file engine.py in your script directory

Just a quick note for those trying to help: I've instructed DayVids via PM to test the following:
in blender's python console, type following:
import os
os.path.isdir("N:\dddd\ddd)

where N:\dddd\ddd is the path he puts in "Image Output". If the last command returns false it means there's an issue ...

You're right, I forgot about linked geometry, but unfortunately it doesn't make things easier...

- it would need some major change in the exporter to identify objects sharing geometry (which could be a mesh but not always)
- instanciated objects can have different modifiers applying to them, making ...

Early versions of Octane didn't support file or folder names with spaces in them, so I enforced 'good' names into the exporter. Now Octane has much more tolerance, I may remove the restriction in a future release of the exporter, if any.

The main problem here is that instances are a modifier like others, and some transformations may apply to the geometry after it has been instancied. As they can be much more complex than what Octane supports, there's no real way to properly transfer them to Octane.

As it is a modifier, it also ...

Hi guys,

sorry for not jumping into this earlier, but I was in the US for business purposes (meaning I was drunk shortly after meetings - a challenge in Utah).

As matej noticed, this is a known issue and it also affects Cycles, so it is not specific to the exporter. I've opened a bug some time ago ...

Hi Stiwi,

there's a bad character in one of materials name (only ANSI is fine, UTF not supported by python in blender).

Cheers,
Lionel
