Hello holocube,

You can simply export an *.obj with the standart exporter of the modeler disabling zbrush option.
The smoothing will be ok in octane.

that would then be modeler only right?
during the HC beta they added obj export from layout but didnt include vertex normals.... which I fogged but was ignored..

I tried exporting a sphere from modeler, checking the .obj it did write the normals. In octane I end up with this:
(smoothing is turned on in material)

haven't exported .obj from modeler to octane before, what settings are you using?

Ops,

sorry, I have the same result that you...

Strange, some time ago, to passtrough the smooth problem, I was exporting from modeler
and it works just fine.

My problem was on glossy materials reflecting the environement...

Actually I got the same render with Francks sphere.
Could anyone export from another working package, even a simplier object would be great. Then share the .obj

Thanks!

Ok,

I have just tryed with an old scene :

The first is from modeler, the second from layout. lw 10.1 with octane 2.52

And here are the simplified files(only glass):

could you try attached .p. x64
set export options to:
export proporties: normal
write point normal: off

Not bad...

I can now switch on/off the smooth option in octane and there is a difference between the two. But they still are strange artefacts on the surface

Here are the result picture:

1) from modeler
2) from your new plugin

Exact this image isn´t a export issue, this is a problem with the renderalgorithm, called "Terminator".
