Well at least there is one other user SW here. I was beginning to feel a little lonely.
If you are happy with your present workflow thats cool but you're welcome to try this out anyway. Should work on SW2005 and later.
Functionally this a better obj export macro than the one being sold for $200 in that it handles materials and textures, complex assemblies, and gives more tessellation control
In the past I have used vrml out of SW and then imported to Blender manually, applied mats and reworked stuff, and then exported as .obj to import into Octane manually....
The vrml faces coming out of SW were not very good either so this is a decent improvement in workflow for me.
I expect I will be using Blender to redo the UV for anything that isn't prismatic since the native SW unwrap is very poor but its generally OK for machinery and such.
I'll put the macro up here soon for stray passersby to inspect and perhaps make use of.
I would have thought there would be more SW/Octane users out there than there are with over a million SW seats, still.....
