Hello to everyone, i have a problem exporting rhino to octane materials.
In rhino I apply a simple texture material (attached pictures) in octane material glossy and is white. (???)
To see the textures I have to convert any material into diffuse .. I do not find the solution, I did a thousand hypotheses but nothing ..
thank you
Matteo

ps. this is the picture in octane whit glossy material

Hi Matteo - if you open the Octane Viewport in Rhino, do the material texture maps render? My guess is that there are no UV's on the mesh. You can check this by viewing the UV Coordinate render pass. Are you able to send me the scene pls?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
thank you.
The problem is also with a simple cube with a mapped texture.
See screenshot (excuse my english)
The rhino scene (in octane viewport is ok)
The scene exported to obj in standalone (no textures)
The scene exported to orbx in standalone is correct and mapped. But I can not update the scene in orbx if I add a cube or texture change in rhino. I did a lot of tests but nothing
Matteo

The untextured cube does not have a material because you have loaded the .obj file. Instead, load the OCS or ORBX file (whichever you exported from Rhino).

Thanks Paul, with export to orbx or ocs there are no problems but in case of modifications I often have to reconnect the materials and it is a bit long.
I have to understand the best way of working between the two software..Especially for textured objects, waiting for new developments that I've seen as gizmo etc ..
thank you
Matteo

A workflow of updating an ORBX/OCS from Rhino and rendering in Octane Standalone does not work. You should only export from Rhino to OCS/ORBX once you know there will be no changes to the Rhino scene. If you are constantly changing the Rhino scene, rendering from the Rhino Octane plugin.
