I'm testing new maya plugin with a WIP animation with simple Bot rig



Working well! it's a pleasur to launch rendering directly from 3D app.
Motion blur is missing atm. I have to ask Bazuka for that...

to be continued

Funny
You guys are really lucky. Most the renderers out there have exporters from your apps. It is not the case for Lightwave

Hi,

very cute
can you tell something about the rendertimes ?

which version did you use 2.2 RC2 ?

Radiance

Hey Gzavye, great animation and great render.

So, you render from maya, but did you have to render each frame individually?....or the octane/maya plugin has an option to render mesh animation from inside maya just with a click of a button as with mental ray?....

Also, did you have to convert the mesh to cache animation before rendering in octane...or anything else?

Thanks

Yes I render with 2.2 RC2
rendertime is fast, cause I use directlighting and 256 s/px. It's enough for that type of animation. It cooks 15s/frame
Bazuka did a great work with the exporter; I only need to give cam/aim and light direction for the project export.
And export for animation is classical : start/end, each frame, quality and let's burn
and no need to bake animation; exporter export geometry for each frame automatically
Very easy

Just missing object motion blur to have paradise

What about materials? Do they get exported from maya and show up correct inside octane?

Cheers,

I first tweaks phong materials in Maya using that tip : http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... 2&start=10
Then I export the scene in Octane to apply definitive parameters (materials, engine, lights...)
I save the scene in Octane.
Go back in Maya to export animation using Octane saved scene.
magique? non. merci l'exporteur MayaToOctane

Cool. Tnx:)

P.S. Nice animation BTW
