Hi,

I am looking to export all my scenes cameras to Standalone instead of a single scene.

I've found an old thread of mine with an apparent solution, but I am unable to make the script work as it is undocumented and vague.

How can I export multiple cameras in 3ds Max to my standalone Octane renderer?

I should note that this scene did not use Octane cameras, I also seem unable to convert regular cameras to Octane cameras using the "Convert" tool in 3ds Max

The best solution I've found so far is to export an FBX of selected 3ds Max cameras (Physical and Octane cameras don't work)
This is a pretty bad workflow

I'm surprised that Octane does not allow you to export more than one camera at a time??? Did I miss a setting somewhere to export more than one cameras from 3ds Max?

Worth noting that the solution above does not work for axonometric cameras. They simply come out as white renders.

Hello SamuelAB,
As far as I know, no Octane plugins export to .orbx more than one camera at time.
I will ask to plugin developers if it is possible to implement in orthographic export and standard camera conversion.
About the the .FBX orthographic camera importing to SA I will reports this issue to SDK developers

Hi SamuelAB,
Ortho campera export to .orbx will be fixed in the next release (10.21)
