Hi bazooka ,
Very cool of you to write this tool ... Really looking forward to it as I would love to use it on my mini iron man rendering
I assume that you only export object position when you export and no deformation Right ?
( could not watch the video as I am seating in the dentist chair right now.... Ouch !!!

u wont have any probl with teethes when u get them all out , kidding

yes, ur right, no deformations but like i wrote ill upload the workflow for animated scene (animation rendering) few basic steps how to etc...

ull be able to export anything (i mean mesh deformations, move, rotate, scale, blendshapes, etc..., if thats what u want to ask)

dude you are a true treasure to any cg comunity that you join ...
i remember all the vray for maya material translation you did a while back on the vray for maya beta forum

deformation ? yooupiiii !!
but i guess the deformation would not have any motion blur ?

[bazuka]

im still there (vray forum) more shaders will come soon, just to finish exporter

there is a motion blur on camera (whole scene, that is), so im not sure how will that works in octane render, maybe we could ask radiance

im preparing some simple scene for render so i could check all features in exporter and motion blur too

Nice...
I see that you zoom in with the focal depth. Is that correct?
When yes, the focal depth is the same as the field of view.

I my eyes, the focal depth is the distance, where the camera focus.
eg. you have a cube in the middle as a camera target and a sphere far away.
With the focal depth option, you can focus on the sphere, without changing the camera position and target.
In Octane, it should be the little AF button with the pipet.

The focal depth are not supported in the version we have, so much i know...

The zoom youre make, should be the --fov option and comes from the camera

Hope i´m right.

Greetings

only camera motion blur for now...

we still need to make the focal depth an actual cameranode parameter and rehook it up to the command line flag...
