MAX2Octane exporter for max 2010+

[kilaD]

Be sure that max2octane points to the correct octane.exe, that is; set your path to octane under project configuration.
...And you should be good to go!

the exporter starts up the "octane programme installer" ! and exports nothing,
i cannot import cameras either
crazy

win7 x64 /clevo i7/6gb/nvidia gtx280m/
i use plugin ver:1.022f and octanerender 1.022beta2.2b.

ok..
That is why you need to point your max2octane to the correct exe!


Do this:

1. Rightclick your Octane shortcut (the one you start Octane with), click properties, verify the path. For example: "H:\Program Files\octane\Octane.exe"
2. In the max2octane exporter, after the "Octane Render binary:" click Browse
3. Browse to the path you verified in step 1. "H:\Program Files\octane\Octane.exe"
4. Select Octane.exe and press OK

Try the exporter.

Are you sure it really is octanerender 1.022beta2.2b?

[crazyhorse666]

i am afraid so !

does this mean bad news ?

Some people have had problems with win7, but you should doublecheck that you are really using the correct versions,
both octane and max2octane.

Does it just crash or do you get an error in octane?

[crazyhorse666]

octane opens then freezes before the main window initiates and a windows prompt asking me to send details of the error to msoft pops up

why only plugin for 3d max no Native Unit size ? This function is very important

I dont think the exporter is working with the new version of octane :/ Every time I export a scene, octane fires up. loads ocs file and crashes to desktop.. i CAN open previous .ocs files in octane, but not a new one .

cheers
