OTOY Forums

Hi.

I have a problem. This is my workflow; All scene is animated in Maya, then export to octane standalone and make materials and render.

When I import the alembic file, in the octane i don´t see camera parameters (aperture, focal deph, etc) only four parameters (and disconnected); Orthographic, Aperture-edge, autofocus and distortion. I can´t modify aperture (I absolutely need this).
I tried export in generic alembic, and tried export in "octaneRender-alembic" (both options of maya 2015 with octane plugin).

Is frustrating to have no way to communicate both softwares smooth and clean way.

I have to do the standalone renderer because no render farms of gpu, and the only way to access cloud services is through gpubox and amazon. Now the problem is I can not move a scene (very simple and only meshes and camera with animation) from maya to standalone

Octane standalone 2.13
Maya 2015 with extension 1
Octane render for maya 2.11.1 - 5.6
Windows 7 64 bits

This may not be you problem but have you turned on create camera inputs in the standalone?

Yes, and create only four nodes

- Aperture Edge
- Autofocus
- Orthographic
- distortion

Is I tuned off, not connections to camera

Whats the advantage of exporting from Maya and sending over to Octane Standalone? Why not create and render all inside Maya?

I have the same problem but for 3ds MAX 2014. Any solutions?

the advantage for me is 3-7 times the render speed in stand alone vs maya plugin. I am running into the same issue.

Hi,

you got any simple example scenes for me here?

Best,
Kai
