I forgot to show that X and Y scale of textures can be animated too.... just trust me, it works

Welcome to the party! The exporter is in your inbox, and as mentioned in my email I'll be on freenode in #octanerender if you have questions.

Have fun!

[EDIT] the power bug is fixed in the version I sent you.

Hi yoyoz, please send me exporter for testing. ill be glad to have it tested. and please send me what version of blender svn is compatible with the script.
pls email >>> roglimena@gmail(dot)com.


thanks 'yoz for such great effort!!!!!

Hi r0ug3r,

it should be in your inbox now. You must get the latest build from graphicall.org (or build yourself from svn).

Cheers,
Yoyoz

Hi yoyoz, I am also interested.
Thanks for sharing, Mib

It's in your inbox too now

Note that I've no time to fully document the exporter yet and you may have to guess how it works.

For having materials exported properly you must activate the 'use direct writes to ocs' option. The texture mappings from the texture panel are ignored but the textures must be created there and assigned to some mapping so Blender don't delete them on exit. Real assignement is made from material panel. Sequence parameters and X/Y scaling are also taken in account. Bad textures will make the exporter fail. Final version will reverse to default blender texture panel.

Another (very) quick and (extremely) dirty video, featuring HDRi rotation (sorry I didn't realize it was so fast) and texture scaling.

this next-gen exporter is awesome. just a quick test render to explore the functionality.
mesh emmiters with noise modifiers driving the emmit values plus some image tex seqs.
yoyoz this a real great improvement! thank you yoyoz -king of the blender exporters:)

wow nice test dave.


cant wait to see more yoyoz

There're now Dave62, tungerz, mib2berlin and r0ug3r who are testing the plugin so I hope to quickly have enough feedback for stabilizing it.

As the workflow is quite different from previous versions regarding material handling, it will also require I write some documentation in order to avoid flooding on the forum. Note that the benefit for this new plugin is mainly for animations. As already discussed on the forum, there's no point setting up every material in blender while a key feature of Octane is to allow real-time editing of them, but I consider it's a must-have when dealing with animations...

I hope being able to release it this week and that the early testers will be able to assist users as I'll be in Croatia all next week with little time for monitoring the forum. Also note that the constraint of using a very recent svn build may discourage some people. I recommend they stick to 2.56a and the old plugin until Blender goes final.

Anyway, you can start imagine what you will do with it

Cheers,
Yoyoz
