Blender Exporter 2.02 Tweet

[matej]

The "cam update" option of 1.17 works with Octane 1.5

S basically, to prevent corruption you use "export obj only", if you changed the geometry and "update camera only" if you changed the camera. Tho this works only for stills.

It would be helpful to know what was changed in 2.02, before going on a blind search

Ahh, that is good to know. maybe I will start using 1.5x with the 1.17 exporter and see if I have any problems with cam update.

Heres the CSV exporter tool that some might find useful

Hi

What do you mean by Blender exporter ? The CVS instances exporter or the OBJ exporter ?

[matej]

The reason 2.02 exports everything not just visible layers, is that line 50 in export.py has been commented out.

It works the first time you export the scene, because Octane 1.5 can read the old .ocs structure. But when you save the .ocs project it gets saved in the new structure. And that file will get corrupted if the exporter changes *anything* in it. SO you are basically limited to "export only the obj" or "export only the camera" (since this mode doenst write in the .ocs, but passes cam data to the cmd line)

Hi Roubal.

Both. I understand that probabili must be the .obj exporter installed first but I cannot install Blender Exporter 2.02

Thanks

@tomas_p : try to install from a zip file containing a folder with the py file. If it doesn't work, put a folder containing the py file in scripts\addon folder. if it still doesn't appear, add a copy of the py file in scripts\addons, at same level as the folder ...

For those who are still using the instance exporter script, download the 020 version here, which has a small bug fixed.

Is it possible to have both 1.17 and 2.02 installed, so we I can check which one I want to use? Right now it seems like it is either one or the other.
