Often problems during exporting

[liquid orange]

I have often or rather mostly problems exporting complex models (e.g cars from blendswap). I get
always the message "something wrong happened please check console logs". Before i export i always unpack the packed textures into files.
What I am doing wrong? Is this a exporter problem or more a problem between the computer monitor and the chair

I need a copy of the log in order to investigate.

I took the reference Model from Mike Pan (BMW 1), unpacked the textures into files and got this
console notification.

You probably have a material refering to a non-existent texture. I'l give a try myself when I've some time.

Thank you yoyoz. Is there a possibility in Blender to delete all existing textures or materials? is this an exporter problem or an octane one?

Look at object TireRubber and destroy texture slots #2 and #3, these are wrongly defined.

Not sure there's such a mechanism but you can give a try to the 'clay' plugin that should be able to assign same material to all objects; Not sure by the way it would clean the texture slots properly.

Octane has nothing to do with this issue. I could put more checks into my code, but you may missed some important information about what is wrong with your blender file, as you should never have an undefined texture slot 'open'...

Ok thank You i will take a better look at the files and it's material slots I want to export. What is your typical workflow? Do you unpack the textures or do you delete the materials/textures (in case of using a blendfile from e.g blendswap).

By looking at the console window you can normally work out what is wrong with the model. The console is always your friend.

I look always at the console when it doesn't export but sometimes it's not easy to understand.
