MAX2Octane exporter for max 2010+

[pedromod]

Hi I dont know if this is happening to anyone but i've installed the plug-in in max 2010 and 2011 and when I go to project path to sect a folder to save it ...it gives me Max scrip message that says "no spaces in folder name". I've tried all sorts of folders with "no space in the folder name" and it still gives the same message.

Now if I select use existing project then it shows the project path and name correctly but when I press render, I get and error that octane has encountered a problem and needs to close and max crashes.

Can you please give me soem Idea as what to do

Im using WIN XP 32

hmm..i thought i fixed this.

well for now make sure your whole path has no spaces: "c:\Program Files\Octane" won't work
because of the space in "Program Files"

thanks for the message
texs importing fine using a different map id channel for each objet
camera view on reset is ok now , great !

which types of light does octane import from max ?

for multi channel renders does octane allow multipass at the moment ?

if not workaround maybe is to render simple model in max and extract alpha,direct lighting mat id obj ids and lighting to composite mat ids allow me to select objets for modification or tweeking in photoshop final file essential for fast modif on tight schedules..!

Octane does not import lights, i think 2.3 will. No multi channel either.
There are som workarounds to make matte passes, search the forum i don't remember where it was.

The camera position/rotation/animation gets exported to octane.
Did you get it to work? If not, make a test with a box and a standard camera.
Reply with your win/max/max2octane/octane-version.

using the octane exporter only fires up octane installation file (as if to install the programme !) it does not create the .ocs file either ..

i have no luck in exporting cameras either ...
