Hello, i would like to ask more about the ORBX export... I'm trying to animate a scene.
Is there a way to use some kind of animation plugin and export that in octane standallone ?
I recently used the IO ready camera script but that's only for animating the camera's position ....
Thanks.

Hello mate, for what I know its not possible to export any kind of sketchup animation to Octane. As Octane StandAlone can only render animation via alembic file.

I belive its in the roadmap of Sketchup Plugin to render internal SU animation.

cheers

Hi,

I plan to add animation support between pages (scenes) but that is pretty much it.
For more advanced animations please use Octane Standalone.

Cheers

Sorry I'm new in animation, and I don't understand what kind of files are necessary, I thought that .ORBX was the deal,(make your geometry, animate with some sort of SU plugin, use the OR for SU , open the viewport and then in the plugin menu export an ORBX file..use that OBRX in the standalone ver, render) ?..As I mentioned above I made a few test with the IO ready camera script ....it works like a charm but still it's only for camera's movement....
I don't mind using the standalone, but how is that possible with sketchup ?
Is there any compatible plugin for animating in SU ?
I don't know, there is a key frame plugin for sketchup but does it export alembic files ?
Thanks

Hi manos,

You can check Lua forums: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=73
Not sure if there is a script to solve your problem. But you can always ask for help there.

Hope that helps,
