Camera animation export

[manalokos]

Hello

Is there a way to export the camera animation to an alembic file, to be able to render camera animations with standalone without opening and closing Octane in each frame?

Thanks

Best regards

I don´t know.
This will be for the free export script and Softimage hasn´t an alembic export for now.
For this i would need the alembic from the Octane SDK, and i don´t know if i can use it on a free version...

What about controlling the motion blur amount of the camera movement?
Currently I can only get 100% of shutter time and that is too much.

Thanks

Isn´t the blur factor dependent on the aperture value?
When i remember right...

I see, you must set the "Shutter time", beside the timeline, in the standalone and save the scene.

I did that, and saved but on the next frame it was back in the default value...

This isn´t a parameter, the exporter can change...

Strange, shutter time always goes back to 0.042

Have seen that we can load a script with the commandline.
Maybe now we have the chance to generate a lua script inside the exporters which can setup some things inside Octane at startup.

Hello Face,

I think the new scripting capabilities deserve a re-write of the Soft2Octane exporter, it is a very important tool for the standalone softimage users.

Kind regards
