OTOY Forums

Hi!

Just downloaded the demo, to compare render speeds with VRay, which I've been using for a while now.

I've exported my model to .obj via the built-in exporter in SU Pro 7, and imported it as a mesh in Octane, but when previewing nothing turns up, it's all black. I've got a sneaking suspicion that I'm missing something basic

I've tried exporting the model as-is with groups and components and whatnot, and exploding it to one single mesh, without any progress. From what I can tell, the OBJ imports just fine, all materials show up in Octane, though, when I use the "Select material" eye dropper, only one material shows up in the Node Inspector - could it be that the scale is wrong, even though I've set both SU and Octane to use millimeter?

My SU->OBJ settings are:
Triangulate
Export texture maps
Swap YZ
Unit: millimeter

In Octane, I've changed the importer's scale to millimeters.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

If needed, I could upload both the SKP and OBJ files?

regards,

Olle

can you try eporting in meters and leaving the OBJ import settings in octane equal ?
i think you're probably inside you're model, or, you have not installed all the drivers etc correctly...
