When exporting .obj from Moi3D
Materials are OK
Object names are OK
NGONS / QUADS / TRIS are OK
Everything work

Hi,
yeah the OBJ importer can parse/use NGONS.

That's quite amazing

)

When I export a simple cylinder from MoI with the highest amount of polygons (exporting ngons), I get rendering artifacts like this. What might be the cause of it? The problem goes away if I export at lower resolutions.

Smooth error or invert normals
Try output in triangles from MoI 3D

That helped. Ok so the best workflow MoI -> Octane is exporting triangles?

octane converts everything it reads to triangles during import,
so it does'nt matter if you use triangles or not.
once octane has loaded the mesh, it keeps it as triangles in memory.

Yes but I have some ngons mesh from MoI3D that Octane fail to convert to triangles and make very ugly results
But its maybe MoI3D fault, I don't know.
