hello all,
First time posting here, and hoping someone will jump on this and help me out.

I made the project with PFtrack and then I imported my model into the project. I can send the model just fine into octane manualy, and it works. But I need to render an animation.
This is what I got from octane when I tried to send it our for render from mayas export script for octane.

----------------------
There was an error parsing the command-line arguments:

Couldn't find match for argument Argument: Cinematogrphy/CG

And then all the file info with camera position and stuff.
----------------------
if anyone need to see all of that Ill post it.

Anyone please help me,

Thanks!!

do you want the exported camera from maya or the obj file that it makes when I export?

Here is the scene without the car in it.. it would have been 50mb and its still the same problem without the car anyways.

~Ben

got it, ill check let u know....

this is what i got, didnt have any probl with render...

resolution is 1/2

let me know is this ok?

cheers

I still get the same error...
I was thinking it was my maya2octane script but I made a new maya project and a quick animation and it worked fine.....

Here is the whole error I get in octane along with the obj file that opens up, but doesnt use the pftrack camera.

is there any other way to render an animation from maya?

~Ben

tell me 1 thing, did u try to render anything simple from maya 2 octane??

as i can see ur on osx and i know that some people here had some probl with the script (with location or something like that)

ill try to dig something out...

cheers

yes I made a simple animation with a ball, plane, camera and a few textures and it rendered using the script just fine.

Should I try reinstalling everything?

As for the script, when I loaded it onto a shelf through the script editor, it loaded just the script and none of the icons. Is that a sign that its not loaded properly?
If thats true, why can I render simple animations but not a PFtrack camera....

Here are a few screen shots of what my exporter look like when I go to render.
