Poser to Octane workflow?

Hi, I'm very new to Octane and hope I am posting this question in the right forum.

I am setting up a scene in Poser 10 (Mac) and choose 'export > OBJ' which creates the .obj and .mtl file. However, when I go to Octane 1.5 and add 'Geometry > Mesh', it cannot find all the .jpg files for the materials/textures of each mesh.

Am I doing this right or is there another way to go from Poser > Octane without Octane having to find every .jpg file?

NOTE: I am on a Mac so I do not have the Poser Plug-in. (But once it's available.... ;) )

Thank you in advance for any support/help with this.

There is actually an OSX version available. http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=38942. It only has a couple of users, so hasn't been stress tested anything like the Windows version - but is functionally the same.

I did try that plug-in and it crashed Poser every time I tried to open it. Perhaps it's because I'm running Mavericks. The site for the plug-in says it's runs on Lion and Mountain Lion.
