Feature Request : obj importing improvements (and fbx) Tweet

[Jasonr]

Hi to all.
It would be really great if Octane could import obj correctly by using a non srandard format of the mtl file.
Hundreds of obj objects on the market are useless as they all need extra editing of the mtl file
so they can be imported.

Also the fbx format shoyld be implemented.
The above would make octane greater.

May I suggest providing a sample non-standard OBJ .MTL file, so Otoy understand specifically which .MTL file keywords need to be supported.

After several hours of trying I realized that the problem is more complicated
for commercial models with textures.

Even when using the obj exporter from 3dmax the obj file in Octane is not recognized in matters of texture.
Hundreds of models from several providers are useless in Octane while on other apps are loaded smoothly.

An example is models from CG AXIS
99% are not loaded and I cannot fugure out which property in the mtl file causes the fault.
Even deletng the map_kd to map_d does not work.

For both octane standalone and plugin (archicad in my case) textures are replaced with rgb

A demo file can be downloaded from here https://bit.ly/volume67_free_model

This should be consider a bug for octane as just the geometry is half the way for complete, proper importing.
Please take in consideration this factor for the next updates

If you want to report a bug, may I suggest posting it in the Octane Standalone 3.05.3 release thread, to ensure the Otoy devs see it.
