Hey,
Here's a test report on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I'm using octane 2.2b.
Downloaded and installed current free google sketchup 7.
I extracted the contents of this plugin archive into the sketchup plugins dir.
I opened a testscene (the one i also mailed to you of the sport hall building).
Clicked File -> Octane... -> Plugin started fine (no problems or errors)
Pointed the plugin to my binary (default installation of our commercial package, wiht spaces etc in path, no problems)
One small issue which was annoying was that i had a brand new empty project folder,
and i could'nt select it as my project folder as the dialog to ask for the folder wants a file instead:
* please select a file in a folder to select the 'Project Folder'...
So i fired up textedit and made a dummy file in my new project folder. Can you fix this ? i can imagine users finding this very annoying.
When done i click export and the plugin launched octane twice.
It all goes quite fast so i did'nt catch why it does it 2 times,
but the first time it starts octane, quicly loads the OBJ and textures, exits,
then the plugin fires octane up a 2nd time, loads obj, textures, voxelises and i'm good,
octane is running fine with my scene exported identically with regards to textures/materials etc as on windows.
maybe you can replicate it with the scene i sent you via email, this is the one i used.
I wonder why it starts octane 2 times. for large scenes this will be a bit annoying.
i'll continue my tests now.
