Need to export abc files from max2014 to Octane 1.52 standalone. Tried 2 ways first sending scene to Maya 2014 and exporting abc file to Octane, second using Exocortex plugin from 3dsmax 2014.

When importing abc files from Maya 2014 the camera pin is correct but geometry shows up with only one material pin for the entire scene.

When importing abc files generated from exocortex plugin for 3dsmax the camera pin is correct but there are multiple material pins for geometry , for instance 6 for a single box an 1 for a sphere, assigning a material named red to the box produces pins red_1, red_2...red_6 in Octane.

Now, importing the same scene as Obj file from 3dsMax 2014 produces a single pin named red for the box with the correct diffuse type and also a single pin named blue for the sphere with the correct specular type associated.

Any chance to have a script to copy the material parameters from a obj node and assign to multiple pins with the same name on an abc scenegraph?

Hi, You asked in a wrong place, and could not have had a response for months...

Is it what you need ?
