Export Revit scene to stand alone Octane

Is there a way to export a scene from Revit to be rendered in the stand alone version of Octane?

It is not currently possible. However Otoy have announced this will be possible in the future - potentially with Octane 1.5.

hey it´s completely posible!!!!!!!....I do this....i have instaledd the collada exporter from lumion in to revit (it´s free)....I used to generate a file with all materials from revit...hmmnn later I import this file into a 3d aplication with ann unnoficial exporter to octane plugin into it ( example cinema4d) send the scene to octane and works fine.....

By the way I preffer use the official 3ds max plugin and the workflow betwen autodesk products...

yeah my english it´s terrible...i hope this tips are useful for you!!!!!

Hi perro

To export via collada then into a other program, then to octane is quite a job, especially When updateing the model :-/

If revit just could export to obj, or octane could import more formats it would be great. And this is just because I would like to try working in octane.

Right now i model in revit, link into 3ds design, then render via max plugin. Works fine, especially when navigating around using walkthough.

Hi jorgensen!!![....yeah i know...but I understand the question in this way...revit to standalone...and the only way at moment i found it´s this...because I have a node for every material in the scene...if I export from max to obj...all geometry stay in a simple node..

Sorry - I misunderstood the original question. You may be able to export the entire Revit scene with materials from Revit to Octane Standalone with the OctaneRender for Revit plugin in the future.

For the professional Revit user (does anyone really use it for non-professional reasons), I think the OctaneRender for Revit plugin is a vastly better workflow than the exporting options you've discussed. It does everything you can do in Standalone, does automatic material conversion, loads proxies, allows you to save defaults, favourites, loads scatter transforms, renders fly-throughs and sun studies etc etc. For a tiny costs relative to what you paid for Revit. There is a demo version too.

Hi Paul

I bought the plugin for Revit, but I really don't like to navigate around in 3d, inside Revit.

But I might need to give it a try again.

If you click the Viewport Navigation button (the camera button on the Viewport window) the Octane camera is disconnected from the Revit camera, and you can navigate the Viewport as you would in Octane Standalone.
