Possibly when XML hierarchy for .oct will be supported I guess.
But I'm curious too

hi
i have a question. Im using 2.57 and your plugin, but have a little problem. When i export obj of my scene from blender(not plugin) it takes textures for each object directly from uv image editor, super handy! But when i export my scene from plugin, it just using material without texture, unless i add it to material. Any way to do what i want from within plugin, or any way to just use my camera position in octane without plugin.
Sorry for my english. Thanks for help.

I have a problem with 2.59 and 1.09d, the plugin only export five/six materials for all the scene.

@portgas, the proper way to work with materials is to have images applied in texture slots of your material. That's what the exporter assumes - that you have properly created materials. The UV/image panel is there for other purposes, not material setup. The exporter can't guess to which channel do you want your currently visible texture applied.

@DcVertice, check the console if there are any crash reports

@matej

Don't report any problem. If I export the scene to FBX (3dsmax) I only export 4 materials, maybe be a problem with the scene? I don't know If I need do something special.

Do your textures name spaces in the names or other non alpha characters. This could be causing it.

Images(Png) from rendering an animation with Blender exporter v1.09d, do they contain alpha channels?
(i want to place the animation in videoclips)

Thanks in advance.

@ Lakris

Yes you can enable png alpha, it's not dependant of the exporter, it's an option of Octane itself :

In the rendertarget menu, you'll find the options that you need :
- alpha channel,
- premultiplied alpha
- and keep environnement

As I said, to enable or disable this options, it's in Octane, so you'll have to make the ocs file (using the "render still image" option, then modify wathever you want to.
save the ocs and close Octane. your alpha settings will be kept next time you launch the exporter for your animation rendering.

Thank you, i will try that
