Blender 2.5 to Octane UI overview

Wait? Is that THE Andrew Price?
Somebody slap me now!

Damn nice to see you here mate!

I am very keen to try out the 2.5 integration! The OBJ export works alright but certainly not ideal and I would have to agree that going back to 2.49 feels like entering the stone age again....

Cheers and keep up the good work!

I know... scary! Good thing Andrew is here as I am pretty hard to put up with

Hi Enrico, when can we expect a Blender 2.54 exporter for Octane?
Best Regards.

2.54 has wavefront obj exporting issue too...
Hope to see the 2.5X plugin soon, since 2.49 or exporting obj from 2.53 is the only option atm.

Well, much harder then expected, quite all the APIs have change since 2.49, many changes compared to the 2.53 release and some behaviours have been changed too. I finally got something working and you may expect an alpha release probably next week. Don't expect too much, not all the functions will be implemented in this first try but you should be able to render stills and maybe animations too

Looking forward to it. Very much appreciate your extra work load...

Very excited to try it out, like the others going back to 2.49 is a bit painful. Thanks,

I can't wait to try it out. I've just been working with the normal 2.54 OBJ export (after applying the fix as suggested elsewhere in the forums).
