Any news about an update for the exporter ?..

Hello holocube,

You can simply export an *.obj with the standart exporter of the modeler disabling zbrush option.
The smoothing will be ok in octane.

[holocube]

that would then be modeler only right?
during the HC beta they added obj export from layout but didnt include vertex normals.... which I fogged but was ignored..

[holocube]

I tried exporting a sphere from modeler, checking the .obj it did write the normals. In octane I end up with this:
(smoothing is turned on in material)

haven't exported .obj from modeler to octane before, what settings are you using?

Ops,

sorry, I have the same result that you...

Strange, some time ago, to passtrough the smooth problem, I was exporting from modeler
and it works just fine.

My problem was on glossy materials reflecting the environement...

Actually I got the same render with Francks sphere.
Could anyone export from another working package, even a simplier object would be great. Then share the .obj

Thanks!

Ok,

I have just tryed with an old scene :

The first is from modeler, the second from layout. lw 10.1 with octane 2.52

And here are the simplified files(only glass):

[holocube]

could you try attached .p. x64
set export options to:
export proporties: normal
write point normal: off

[scratch33]

Not bad...

I can now switch on/off the smooth option in octane and there is a difference between the two. But they still are strange artefacts on the surface

Here are the result picture:

1) from modeler
2) from your new plugin

Exact this image isn´t a export issue, this is a problem with the renderalgorithm, called "Terminator".
