Hello there.

Yes exporter need some work.

1- Scenes exported as render targets
2- OCS export mode without geometry (and then we could simple export project as .obj and connect the materials/settings/nodes exported in the OCS file) - this is important because, for example, a big big project could be easily "worked in parts in SU" exported and join together in StandAlone. This happens in some projects, they start small and then get bigger and bigger, so the possibility to export and continue working in StandAlone should be present, and for now the result of the export is just crazy :?

Seekerfinder wrote:For me, the fact that we can IMPORT OCS files into the SU plugin as proxies is huge. It means I can export my base models from SU using Tig's tool, do my texturing as required in standalone and import those OCS files into my SU master model. These are assets I use repeatedly on different models so work done once is available always. Works great for archviz stuff.

Yes Seeker that is great, and its the way i do it too ;) , but would be even better if we could have the same texturing scale(or whatever problem we have in that). viewtopic.php?f=31&t=41544&p=198537#p198537

For sure the StandAlone offers much more possibilities, that is true, and the plugins in is first steps, trying to fight the 32bit limitation, so lets hope we can get Fuzzy back to us and a few more correction to the plugin.


My wishlist

1- Rayepsilon - Sometimes it just gets crazy - dont know why...and we dont have the control.
2- Camera response - he have it but ist so hard to change it - the menu is very tricky
3- Zoom Option in Render Viewport - big renders are impossible to see.
4- Clay rendering
5- Save to OCS without geometry
6- Near Clip Depth

cheers

Hi all,

.ocs/.orbx export was a side feature that I actually didn't plan to implement, it came with the functionality of Octane SDK.
The way scene is being exported to .ocs is the way data is mapped from SketchUp to Octane to allow interactive updates.

Regrouping nodes means breaking the node structure which means that to continue working in SU one would have re-map SU scene to Octane again (similar to closing and opening viewport).

Some improvements to .ocs export are on the roadmap but they won't be implemented very soon since the main purpose of the plugin is to render inside SU.

As for other improvements as clay rendering, zoom rendering, etc, I'm working on them.
Right now main priority is on stability and multi-language support which is a pain to solve.

Take it easy

Hello Fuzzy,
thanks for the feedback, there are many things that are far ahead from my knowledge and sometimes i think we just dont know if what we are asking is a impossible thing or if its just in "hard stuff" zone.

I must agree with you that OCT4SU was made so we can use Octane inside SU, and right now SU has some (a lot) limitations. I don't excpect to do everything inside SU...at least until 64b version :twisted: ....hehe Just kidding.

For me the only limitations of the plugin - at this moment - are the ones I said in the earlier post.

1- Rayepsilon - Sometimes it just gets crazy - dont know why...and we dont have the control.
2- Camera response - he have it but ist so hard to change it - the menu is very tricky
3- Zoom Option in Render Viewport - big renders are impossible to see.
4- Clay rendering
5- Near Clip Depth
6- Menus - fonts size/open/collapse - maybe Viewport menu could be outside (similar to materials menu)

thanks ;)

cheers

Smicha, node editing will be next on my agenda after I get the proxy issue sorted.

Can we just get basic stability established first please? Like render window displaying nothing / material dialog not opening / frequent crashes etc...
Also, in terms of general usability, the texture scaling problem is still prevelant and uber annoying / time wasting. Please check the correspondence history on thus subject in the original beta forum...
Tnx,
Seeker

I agree with seeker - let's fix what's already done and then create new functional plugin (new).
