[Unsupported] Blender plugin v1.xx - Code

[yoyoz]

It seems I've found why you have multiple launches:
- switch to 'Blender render'
- in 'Render' panel, uncheck 'Sampled Motion Blur'
- switch back to 'Octane Render'

Is there any advantage to export as ocs instead of obj ? Does it export or load faster for animations ? I still use Blender 2.49b.

[yoyoz]

Mesh are always exported as OBJ and the MTL is always generated as well. Writing in the OCS allows to give exact values to material parameters and to update them at each export. Since Octane 2.43, any material that already exists in the OCS is not updated from the MTL file, which prevents animating them.

I hope that the new XML I/O file format will allow to give same flexibility without touching the OCS but I still have no information at all.

Hi Lionel,

I have tried with build 35474 with 'Sampled Motion Blur' unchecked, but I still have the problem.
But the problem appears with only one of the scenes I used to try your plugin, with the others it
works fine.
I have attached this scene.
Hope it helps.

I've taken a look and I can't see anything obvious. Looks like Lionel will have to be your man

I've got to start cooking dinner.....

- switch to 'Blender render'
- in 'Render' panel, 'Post Processing' subpanel, uncheck 'Fields'
- switch back to 'Octane Render'

man you are making these hard. It's becoming like a quiz show.

Hi Lionel,

It works fine now.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Yoyoz, thanks a lot for your hard work and your great plugin. It really streamlines the creation/rendering process between blender and octane and makes the workflow a pleasure. However, I noticed that with the latest builds, version 1.09c of the plugin cannot be added to the render addons tab. Is anyone else having the same issue?

cheers,

Alvaro

Hi alvaro,
Thanks for your nice words! As I'm always copying files, I didn't test the plugin install since a while. I cannot try at the moment, so it would be nice if someone could confirm the issue. The blender API is still moving before final release so I may propably need to make some tweaks...
Cheers,
Lionel
