I am on the way to buy the plugin for sketchup.
But I need to know that the export to .ocs function works well in this plugin.
I have tried the demo version but can not get it to export any thing at all, I guess it is a limitation in the demo version?
Hope some one can offer me some idea about how this function works??
Is it very slow?
Does it export well?
Any issues with proxy?
Any other known issues?
I really need a answer to this as I could not find any thing about this any where.
PLEAS HELP!!!!!

Works perfectly well, extremely fast and is super easy. You'll love it!

Thanks for your reply.smicha wrote:Works perfectly well, extremely fast and is super easy. You'll love it!
I used to use the exporter made by TIG, and now that exporter takes about 200 sec to export a sketchup scene with about 190000 edges and 90000 faces and some big textures. This is very long nearly 4 minutes just for the export.
How long do you think the new paid plugin for sketchup will take to export the same scene?
Again thanks, really appreciate your reply.

Once you open your scene under the SU plugin - it is blazing fast, seconds.
If you wish - PM me and send your skp scene and I do export tests and tell you exactly how fast it goes.

Hi clausgs,
Yup, it's very fast indeed. But you have to open Octane Viewport first (it converts SU geometry to Octane and stores it in RAM).
Then when you hit 'export' it basically takes already prepared geo from Octane and saves it to .ocs/.orbx
There are only few weak sides:
1. If you have materials in your Octane material editor which are not applied to the scene geometry, they will not be exported (I'm going to fix this in the upcoming builds)
2. If you have multiple pages (a.k.a. scenes) they will not be exported as render targets.. yet. I'm planning to introduce this one as well.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Thanks for all you support and info.
I bought the Octane for SU yesterday and I am happy so far.
Here the first renders I did yesterday, all inside SU I did not export to standalone.
This work flow is new to me and I need some time to get used to it.
It would be great to have the same info as in the standalone version for when the render is running, a estimated time for how long the render will take.
Also, when i close the view port and then open it again, all the view port settings are reset to default, i want it to remember my last settings.
I have the same issue as others and it is that the bump do not have the same strong effect as in the standalone version.

Ay sweet as! Nice work!
As for the issues, I'll check the bump and revise the render info. I need to do some redesign in general but do not have enough time for this now.
