3ds max obj export

[pedrofelipe]

Hello guys,

I'm trying this amazing software. Bumped into a question. When I'm exporting to obj (every element is a separeted mesh with its own material applied) Octane reads it as one object and one material... how do I sort this one out?

Export with Material groups selected, or use Blender.

These are the settings that I'm using:



Is that anything wrong?

With those settings, when you import it into Octane, are the texture maps already applied then? Or do you have to re apply texture maps to materials?

[pedrofelipe]

Chris,

No textures on octacne... just a single black material applied to all the geometry. And I do have different materials on max for each object.

I just want differente materials in different objects.. and currently I can't

[Chris]

I got a similar problem, i`l experiment and see if i can find valid settings for the obj export in max. Wich version of max do you use?

[pedrofelipe]

3ds max 2009 sp1 64bits
I mean 3ds max is a very popular 3d package... something will be indeed wrong if Octane doesn't give suport for the OBJ importing thing.

Its a bit strange really, it should work somehow. We wil work it out I`l get back to you if i find something out

you should be able to export everything fine from max to octane,
here's more info: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... ?f=6&t=123

it would be nice if someone can take the time to sort out the 'perfect' profile,
then post a little tutorial with screenshots,
and we can include that in the documentation.
