Need to export abc files from max2014 to Octane 1.52 standalone. Tried 2 ways first sending scene to Maya 2014 and exporting abc file to Octane, second using Exocortex plugin from 3dsmax 2014.
When importing abc files from Maya 2014 the camera pins are correct but geometry show up with only one material pin for the entire scene.
When importing abc files generated from exocortex plugin for 3dsmax the camera pins are correct but there are multiple material pins for each mesch , for instance 6 pins for a single box an 1 for a sphere, assigning a material named red to the box on 3dsmax produces pins red_1, red_2...red_6 in Octane.
Now, importing the same scene as Obj file from 3dsMax 2014 produces a single pin named red for the box with the correct diffuse material type and also a single pin named blue for the sphere with the correct specular material type associated.
Anybody as an idea how to copy the parameters from every pin of an obj node and assign them to the corresponding pins of abc scenegraph? In the exemple above it would be red material from obj file to red01,red02,red03...red06 of the abc file and so on?
