hi, create a rendertarget in octane with the ortographic camera, then add the name of the rendertarget in the exporter and uncheck the export cinema camera in the second tab of the exporter.
that's it ;)

hi, i have made a quick test and it's more easy of what i've expected, simply find a prospective camera similar to the orthographic view that you need, export, check the option in the octane camera and save the ocs and voilà, the orthographic camera stays so it's also possible to animate it ;)
I had only correct the camera shift y value for centering the subject.

Currently there is no way to way to export an orthographic camera to Octane. We will add this in the near future.

It's quite unlikely that there will be an update in Octane until next year, but I will have a look if I can work around it in the exporter. You would still have to enable the orthographic option in the Octane scene manually, but after that it should export correctly. I will see what I can do.

Cheers,
Marcus
