by the way face have you implemented the 'rendervis' flag yet?
Last time I checked it out it did not work.

Should i?
10 minutes to work
What should i export?
(visible, wichever rendervis or not) + (not visible and rendervis)?

go on, waiting...

[Amplitude]

no viewvis / no rendervis -> not exported
visible / no rendervis -> not exported
no viewvis / renderable -> exported

sounds good to me...

...A bad workflow issue for the exporter is that I have to convert my subD models to polygon, but even then, I'm not making nearly enough poly to get a smooth look.

Thats while the exporter use the standart Softimage obj-export and subDs aren´t supported...

But...
Mine will do that.
Which subD-Level you want to export, the render level or the OGL level?
I will test it with the OGL level first...

Well, everytime I hit "render frame" button in the exporter, Octane crashes on startup . After 30 minutes of trying, I gave up. No succes. Octane crashes all the time on load, if it is called from Softimage.

Which windows/softimage version?
How shows the crash, see the splashscreen from Octane, give Octane a messagebox?
More infos please, with octane crashes, i can´t work
Maybe fill your computer spects in your profile, that will reduce the question about it...

Oh, I'm sorry. I am running win7 64bit, Softimage 2010 64bit. Hardware: cpu quadcore 9550 3.7GHz, 8gb ram, Gainward 285gtx 2gb ram, Asus maximus formula motherboard.
Whenever I want to export scene to Octane, and press "render frame" button, Softimage starts to export, but when I shoud expect Octane launching, there is a message that appears "octane.exe has stopped working". Here is what is written in problem details:

Does octane work without the script ?
Eg using our demosuite or another OBJ file ?

That´s years old and fixed
The error was the spaces in the pathes...

I see, you have some parameters to choose when you want to export a subD...
From which construction mode should be the mesh exported? (modeling, shape, animation or secondary shape)
Which subD-level? (render or OGL)
Which subdivision rule? (Catmull-clark, doo-sabin, linear)

but.... I have an issue when I try to specify the GPU device with the command line argument.
-g 0 -g 1
Octane crashes every time.
