Beta 2.2 RC1: Maya exporter plugin (unofficial)

[cgbeige]

i forgot about u my friend,

im making a custom one for u for testing...

let me know if that works, so i can implement into script

thanks but I get an error in Maya:

// Error: "$start" is an undeclared variable.

@face, thanks for providing suggestions.
@bazuka,

Good new, I tested on Maya 2010 and 2011, both works to render out sequence.

Interesting to find out, which I believe is more of an Octane issue itselt,
is that when both object and camera are traveling, the motion blurr is kind of crazy,
as you can see in the quicktime I attached.

In terms of realistic motion blurr, for background object (church wall), because of the distance,
the motion blurr effect is reduced, which is pretty accurate I would say. Though, foregoround object wise,
I would assume that the foreground object (boy), while traveling about the same speed as the camera, should have minimal
motion blur as well. Motion blurr with obj frame blendding approach seems not doing the proper job in this case.
I guess the obj instace in beta3 would help solve the problem?

Maybe this I should and a separate post in the general forum, not in the Maya plugin thread.

But hey Bezuka, the Maya script seems to start working. It's so very exciting. Thanks for the development,
and looking forward to see it grow.

What am I doing wrong here? I get this error right after Octane launches:

There was an error parsing the command-line arguments:

@vanlicht

great to hear nice news, i hope ill do my best to fix whats up to me

@SheepFactory

can u paste from script editor cmd line that is exported when u hit render?

@cgbeige

can u try this one?

[SheepFactory]

Sure:

C:\Program Files\Refractive Software\Octane Render 1.021 x64\octane.exe -n "C:\Users\Ali\Desktop\test\chair.ocs" -m chair.obj -l "C:\Users\Ali\Desktop\test\chair.obj" --cam-pos-x 12.77541772 --cam-pos-y 1.089716331 --cam-pos-z 26.77522885 --cam-target-x 0.2464379436 --cam-target-y 0.02013526378 --cam-target-z -4.869361866""

I am guessing the project name ocs is not getting created for whatever reason.

[face]

C:\Program Files\Refractive Software\Octane Render 1.021 x64\octane.exe -n "C:\Users\Ali\Desktop\test\chair.ocs" -m chair.obj -l "C:\Users\Ali\Desktop\test\chair.obj" --cam-pos-x 12.77541772 --cam-pos-y 1.089716331 --cam-pos-z 26.77522885 --cam-target-x 0.2464379436 --cam-target-y 0.02013526378 --cam-target-z -4.869361866""

The reds at the end of the line should be the error.
Remove them and execute that line, if you can that.

@SheepFactory

i see u did some shots on Invictus

i was working on few shoots too, some camera tracking for massive...

I:\Program Files\Refractive Software\Octane Render 1.021 x64\octane.exe -n "I:\Octane_project\test3.ocs" -m test3.obj -l "I:\Octane_project\test3.obj" --cam-pos-x -3.339685977 --cam-pos-y 4.925996391 --cam-pos-z 11.93894354 --cam-target-x -0.2689053345 --cam-target-y 1.787753889 --cam-target-z 0.6365929932

this is my cmd line, i saw u have some (extra) quotes at the end of the line???

[SheepFactory]

Hey Bazuka. Were you at CIS too?

No luck. I get a syntax error when I execute that line with or without the quotes. I dont know why it is adding quotes to it.

[bazuka]

noo i didnt

can u tell me what ver of maya u use? so i could check??

[SheepFactory]

Maya 2011. The first release, not the latest hotfix one.
