Hi,

I updated the thread with a new alpha version. Still many things to do but this should be a more usable release. I hope that API won't change anymore as it's just the hell to debug and to adapt.

Can you focus the tests on :
. the material conversion
. the UV mapping as I suspect some strange behaviors
. the animation

[enricocerica]

Hi,

Just downloaded the last 2.56 beta of Blender and as I suspected it the Octane export script crashes all the way, so once again they have changed the API. I suggest you use the script provided for the 2.55 version, I'll wait a real stable version before making any change, by the way I also noticed some strange behavior with the material conversion in the current version, so I'll probably release a fix.

I agree its best to wait. I didn't run into significant problems with 2.55, only missing features. Looks like Blender 2.56 has some serious release bugs, I think they forced that update out for the new year instead of giving enough time for full testing.

The updates on http://www.graphicall.org already show many changes since the 2.56 release in the logs: http://www.graphicall.org/builds/logs_blender.php
Those Blender Developer meeting notes did mention another possible "stable" release soon after 2.56

•Roadmap: after 2.56 more efforts will go to the pending 2.5 todos. And then in 1-2 months maybe a first real almost-finished-no-beta

I suspect there may be a Blender 2.56b before then.

Hello everybody,
First off... Happy New Year!!!!!!
Cheers....

Has anybody got the exporter setup to work with Blender2.55 or 2.56?
or is there another version of the exporter that didn't come with my download?

Or... I sould be more patient :p and it has kinks to be worked out?

I exported to obj's and did a few test drives... and it is awesome
only my particles didn't export :/

anywho, great work you all have done

Cheers,

Andy

The 2.54 exporter works with 2.55 with a couple of mods. read back and you will see a link to the thread.

Hey, the last provided exporter should work with 2.55, if there is any issue let me know. The 2.54 one has lot of limitations, so I suggest to not use it anymore and to focus on the version available.

Hello enricocerica,
Thank you for your help.
I downloaded the script in your 1st post of this thread and tried it...
It did load in the render options, but it didn't work on exporting a render, I got errors.
I've attached a screen grab, hope that it helps and if not I will wait until a more stable version is available

Thank you in advance for all of your time and knowledge

Cheers,

Andy
