OTOY Forums

I found a thread among this forum with a screenshot of how to export but it does not work because octane still crashes when importing. It would be nice to see an up-to-date screenshot fo how to export from blender. Also one of the reasons that I bought Octane was that it was supposed to have plugins or better exporters for blender. What are the chances of there being an integrated plugin for blender (2.6x).
Thank You.

Hi larmannjan,

A community developed blender plugin can be found here:

Just note that this is not an official octane team developed plugin (we do not have one at the moment). It has been kindly created by a member of the community.

If you could please post your scene I will take a look at exporting it and see what i can do.

Cheers

Thank you. I also found that thread. Th scene was literally text converted to a mesh and a sub-surf of 1 on it.

I have just tried that (text converted to a mesh with subsurf lvl1) with the default obj export options and it has worked ok for me.
Have you made sure the text has a material applied to it in blender?

I am running blender v2.63 and my default obj export settings are:
All options off except Apply Modifiers, Include Edges, Include UV's, Write Materials, Objects as OBJ Objects.

Scale 1.00
Forward: -Z Forward
Up: Y up
Path Mode: Auto

materials added. It works thx
