octane exporter + Advance Camera Tools error

hello Tig,
i found this on sketchupdate.blogspot.com Advance Camera Tools ( http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2011/03/introducing-advanced-camera-tools.html )
i think it`s a great addition to sketchup but every time i try to export a camera octane exporter crashes, no error no nothing.
could you please take a look for a fix?

Thank you in advance,
Tudor

When you say 'export a camera', what are you exporting - the camera associated with a scene tab ?
Can you post or PM and example of what you are having problems with...
When you say the exporter crashes what error messages do you get in the Ruby Console ?
OR is it Octane itself having problems ?
I need more info - I can't fix a problem unless I know what it is........

after creating a camera and selecting it from export camera the export window is closing.
i did a window capture for you to see exactly what i`m telling you


ruby console errors:
Error: #<NotImplementedError: method `respond_to?' called on terminated object (0x1847da38)>
D:/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/Octane/Octane_1024.rb:3414:in `select_tool'

That's a weird error as "respond_to?" is not even used in the exporter tool at all - it's like it's a 'command' error in Sketchup itself.

Can you try it again BUT by NOT using the menu item, but by typing
octane
into the Ruby Console + <enter>

Also try typing
Octane.new()
into the Ruby Console + <enter>
to see what happens...

Please keep the 'case' exactly as I've shown.

Do you get any OBJ/MTL or CMD files etc made, it seems that the OCS isn't launching through the CMD file at all.
Where is the SKP? Is its folder accessible to you with full read/write permissions as files have to be written there by the exporter ??

If these work please let me know - is it possible to zip the problem SKP with its camera set etc and attach it to a Private Message [PM] to me so I can see if I also get the error... :?

that error appears regardless of the skp file or location
i`ve tried octane and octane.new in ruby console but after selecting the active camera i got the same strange error (octane window is closing after 1 sec)
the console errors:
#<Sketchup::Model:0xcf3cfbc>
octane
#<Sketchup::Model:0xcf3cfbc>
octane.new()
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for #<Sketchup::Model:0xcf3cfbc>>
(eval):36

i don`t get any obj/mtl or cmd files made

so this error appears only when i`m using advance camera tools. regardless of the scene or the path to the file

The second Ruby snippet must start with an upper case 'O'
Octane.new()
Please retry that - although I hold little hope...

Could you make a simple SKP that fails, zip it and post/PM it ?

i did what you said
Octane.new()
#<Octane:0xcbfe788 @all_pages=[#<Sketchup::Page:0xccc95c8>], @gpu_device3="false", @lens_aperture_radius_value=1.0, @project_path="G:\\", @pixel_samples="Medium (256 s/px)", @gpu_devices="false", @percentages_array=["100%", "75%", "50%", "25%", "Reset"], @start_frame="cat (ACT)", @motion_blur="false", @resolution="false", @anims2go=[], @gpu_device2="false", @lens_aperture_radius="false", @octane_render_binary="D:\\Refractive Software\\Octane 2.4\\octane.exe", @step="", @light_source="from <Current View>", @percentage="100%", @focal_depth_value=5.0, @native_unit_size="meters", @pixs="256", @gpu_device1="false", @active_camera="cat (ACT)", @msg="", @end_frame=nil, @export_sun_direction="false", @height="687", @sel=#<Sketchup::Selection:0xd0acc58>, @model=#<Sketchup::Model:0xd04e7ac>, @image_output="G:\\img00001.png", @focal_depth="false", @project_name="camtest", @dlg=#<UI::WebDialog:0xdd4e394>, @pixel_samples_array=["Very Low (8 s/px)", "Low (32 s/px)", "Medium (256 s/px)", "Medium/High (512 s/px)", "High (1024 s/px)", "Very High (4096 s/px)", "Custom"], @gpu_device0="false", @export_camera="true", @scenes=["cat (ACT)"], @motion_blur_value="Next", @width="1173">

but nothing happens after that

I have now got the Advanced-Camera-Tools loaded and tried what you did. AND I too get a weird error with a new SKP. :shock:

I don't get the error with your SKP though :? ***

I suspect that its because the advanced camera tools make a new Scene tab that is somehow 'observed' and if you do anything to it it kicks off! - the exporter first changes to that scene-tab which seems to be enough to break things.

There is a fix...

First don't export and render using the ACTool's scene-tab 'Camera 1 [FS]' as it might break...***

Instead there are two workarounds for this...

One - Right-click over the tab and use 'Add' to make a new scene-tab with exactly the same settings 'cloned' from it... BUT without the pesky 'observer' to make it fail - it works OK for me then.

Two - Alternatively just change to the 'Camera1 [FS]' scene tab view and then export using 'from <Current View>' camera option instead of the named scene-tab itself, this should also work OK...

***Strangely as with your SKP, I have found that if you do these changes to my new SKP, and later on I export using that very same 'Camera1 [FS]' scene-tab it WILL work OK :?

I need to clarify with Google what this new Camera tool is actually doing with this scene-tab - as it is a pain! :roll:
It might also break 'animations' if it kicks off part way through...
