So.. I can export the animation with f10 to .abc, import it to the Standalone and all works? I can knock my self out with LiveDB?

You can export the animated geometry and the camera to an alembic file, but an alembic file can't have the render target or shading information, so you need to resurface the scene in Standalone.

Yup, that´s what I thought. That I make the animation in LW with very basic surfaces, nothing fancy, then send the package to Standalone and texture it there thoroughly.

This. Sounds. Awesome.

Thanks Juan.

When I export 450 frames .abc from LW, Octane standalone gives me 161640 frames to export? How can I have 450 frames out, like it was in LW?

Then, there is this odd distortion, the balls should be balls, now they are distorted..?

ristoraven wrote:Hi,

Works better. Probably even better with LW2015?

Now it gave me 374 frames out of 450. Still distortion in these fast moving pieces.. This is a test scene where small balls drops to a bowl, distortion seems to be related to the objects speed and roll?
