this is a little bug in beta2 that will be fixed in the upcoming 2.1 update.
you must make sure your obj file and mtl file ends with small case letters, eg not '.Obj' or '.OBJ', but '.obj'.

Yeah...now worked!
But when i load the object, only appears a black silouette...i'm trying to follow the video tutorials, and all starts with a kind of basic lighting setup, not with the objects like silouettes (black)...
...in other way It will be nice to have a pdf. manual for download, it exists??

Thnx and greetings for create this piece of wonderful software!!

Cheers from Spain!

Blackness could also be down the the material being black, selecting the material picker and clicking your object before changing the colour on the right hand side to something lighter might help.

There is a manual but it is only available to licensed customers afaik

Yesss...it works perfectly!!!!!!! fu**ing nice quality!!! I will purcahse this week the PC version :D
I just tweaked a daylight and camera setttings in a very high resolution mesh from zbrush (at subdivision level 7 ) and worked fast and clean....amazing render!
Just one thing: the hdri maps that are loaded as image that comes from octane itself, in wich folder are placed??? I can't find it!

beta2 does'nt have any bundles content,
we've prepared a separate archive with demo scenes and maps which will be released with the upcoming 2.1 release.
