Hi,

I post here because I think it's a lightwave export problem.

Here is what I got if I try to render a glossy material.

smooth is on.



Can you help me please? Thank you.

I think that this is the plugin that don't work properly.
I have exported the object from modeler without the plugin and textured in octane and I don't have this issue.
But I want to do animation and I must use the plugin...

Is there anyone who could confirm the bug?

- Do a sphere in modeler with enough polygons.apply a material with smooth active.
- export in layout.
- from layout export in octane with the plugin.
- apply a glossy material on the sphere.
- apply a hdri map in environment.
- zoom...

Thank you very much.

I suffer the same problem and didn't find a fix yet. I tried to export the obj fromn Modo and replace the Lw export ,then re-open the Octane scene, no sucess... still facetted. (Very simple polygonal mesh, no dub-d used.)
Anyone has got a tip? (other than give up lightwave, please)
Thanks!

Salut,

Here is a tip. Works well but a bit tricky. And usefull only with animation without deformation...

The point is to export from modeler the good version with internal exporter, then export from layout with plugin.

Hope this bug will fixed soon...
