unfortunately, you cannot use spaces in the exporter. Get a filename with no spaces and you will be okay. The exporter was originally made when Octane didnt allow spaces, so thats why its there, just hasnt been updated yet.

You may find this helpful, I was experiencing some problems as well, and managed to get them resolved.

Also, if you're doing an animation there is a line you need to change in the 1.20 exporter.

Hope this helps with your problem...

Guys.
I have no spaces in the path that I put in my project, I have strange symbols in my project and yet does not work nor the export of an animation.
I'm using the plugin .. 1:19
Is there a more updated?
I'm using Blender 2.63 (r46461: 46487M)
I would like a solution and can not do anything, I need to surrender much of a job.

Can you copy and paste the blender info panel from when you have the error?
Also, 1.20 is found here-
http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... 373#p96373, but remember that there is a change to the script that you have to do, per my threads I pointed you to.
PM me if you have no additional luck.
What does the python drive info show for your location that you're saving to?

error('Image output directory is invalid or contains spaces "%s" ("%s")' % (octane_render.path,animPath))
File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.64\scripts\addons\octanerender\utils.py", line 81, in error
raise Exception("Octane plug-in: "+error)
Exception: Octane plug-in: Image output directory is invalid or contains spaces "C:\Users\Douglas\Desktop\OCTANE_RENDER\" ("C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender")

I just kept getting this..
I changed my render/image output directory to C:\RENDERS
Saved my Blender scene, quit Blender and re-started Blender and its running fine now

Well, kind of!
Render animation renders the first frame fine. I click render animation, Octane starts up, renders first frame,closes but does NOT start up again for the second frame!
