MAX2Octane exporter for max 2010+

[garmire]

The main problem is that I have 2.5 million polys... everytime I load the OBJ file from MAX, it takes 5 minutes... everytime I render, it takes 10 seconds.

Ideally I could have the path inside of Octane (because you really do not need to reload the object or revoxelize the scene)... ideally I could have a particular path through the object or at least a way to script out the camera so that I can change the camera position/angle, save a frame, update camera position/angle, save another frame... thereby creating a nice movie of my scene without taking a week of rendering.

Camera/Mesh pathes inside Octane aren´t currently supported.
Maybe with collada or rib...

Textured polys with that count, should not takes more than 3min ex/import.
Untextured around 2min...

You are right, it takes 3 minutes (180 seconds).... compared to a 10 second render time... I have 2K frames to render... if I can render entirely in octanerender with a precise path assigned: 5.5 hrs... if I render going back and forth as it currently is: 4.17 days...

Hi

Can someone tell me/guide me to the last plugin for Max please. I have searched and am totally lost! Is it 1.022f ? When I try and export anything I just get a blank screen in Octane so I guessing somewhere there is a newer release.

Thanks a lot.

When i set a new project name in the exporter it runs fine but obviously with default materials. But when i go to use an existing project (an earlier exported .obj) and hit render i get this...

I have done many successful animations using older versions of this plugin before.. whats the go?

Whats more weird is that i can just click "okay" on the automation error, click the mesh node in octane and it will render....

tried both f and g of this plugin and last two previous versions of octane with the same result...

Sorry, probably an easy fix but i cant seem to find the solution...

Hello, everyone.
I researched a lot and not found a way to export layers to obj files.
Is it possible? Is there another way to separate layered objects in obj files?
Currently the objects are separated by material, right?
Thanks

afaik materials is the way to seperate objects.
You could give each object a unique material quickly like this:

for i in geometry do i.material=(standardmaterial name:("Mat_"+i.name) diffusecolor:(random black white))


press F11 to open the listener, paste it in there and evaluate it by pressing CTRL+E

do not get to run the script

1.022g should be h. Try to replace the g with a h and save the macro.
