Do you work with an exporter or without?

I have exporter support for my main 3D package, and won't ever use Octane in another way.

Exporter, yes, but sometimes need to use a few "transfer" steps to have a project where I need it, to export it to Octane.

Partly exporter(s), partly direct Wavefront .obj/.mtl transfer to Octane; depends on the project.

I haven't specialised exporter(s) for my 3D package(s) and go just via Wavefront .obj/.mtl to Octane

Sometimes it looks to me, that the weighing of a specific feature (or the lack of), or specific workflow perceptions heavily depend on the existance of an exporter as the preferred way to use Octane for rendering. I for my part don't have one, wether for my main program, nor for others I use; so I end up doing a lot of work in Octane (from camera setup over material creation to texturing), and therefore the easiness of the handling there is very important for me - which i find already very good, by the way.

Feel free to comment how you think about this - I'd be really interested in some different opinions...

Just so you know. The poll does not work. You'll get an error when voting.

I don't have an exporter for my program, but I use Notepad++ everytime I use Octane to set my preferences in the MTL file.

hm, ok. i thought this was just because i cannot vote myself. but i don't know what to do against it. the poll creation is pretty straight forward - need to pm a mod.

[edit:] older polls don't work also...
[edit:] radiance told me that polls are broken for the moment, so maybe later...
