I'm getting a strange error.

The last line basically is looking for a file that is in a path under a user that doesn't exist on my machine (my name is James).
The true path for this file is: E:\Media\models\Exotic Vase Collection\vase_collectionOBJ\maps\vase001(color).jpg

Either there is something in Blender pointing to the file creators metadata, or there is something in the plug-in defaulting to a path that is relative to the author. (or something else, I'm not smart enough to figure it out).

Octane won't launch so I am pretty much stuck.

Thanks

We have this happen a lot. You probably have a material that has a texture in its texture slot pointing to that image. We have this happen when we use objects we download online.

Check the texture slots of all your materials (although in this case, I would check any vases you have)

Hello guys,
I tried to use this old Blender Exporter with the new Blender 2.8 version, but I'm getting error message.
Do you plan to update the exporter and instance exporter to run with 2.8?
Thanks

Hi!

This plugin/Add on is 5 years old and I'm not sure it will work with 2.79, I also doubt that it' compatible with the latest versions of Octane (4.0 or 2018.1), it definitely won't support new features.

As for it working with Blender 2.8 it would have to be (heavily) updated. 2.8 made some big changes to the API, so few to none 2.79 add ons work directly with 2.8, without any changes.

We can export ORBX files from Blender (the OTOY build) to Standalone, and the file gets instancing information stored correctly.
