Exporting scene 'Cameras' via ORBX

Test 1:
SketchUp Photomatch - 2 scenes, first is the photomatch image, second is the render image. Used the Octane Plugin to export ORBX scene. Opened ORBX in standalone, both scenes became independent cameras. (fantastic result)

Test 2:
4 scenes - Only selected scene was exported in ORBX. Want all scenes to become cameras.... (miserable result!!)

Do I need to setup the scene differently, maybe deselect the scene tab, or orbit and export?

Any help is appreciated, ;)

Cheers!

Seems to only save 2 cameras / scenes on any export. I don't want to have to re-texture a scene 7 times.

Tig's amazing exporters!

Export's the camera data only.

Hey,

Apologies for not addressing your post sooner. Glad to see that you found a viable solution. I will discuss with the team about building similar functionality directly into the plugin for future versions. At the moment, we are continuing to roll ahead with the nodal implementation.

Cheers,
Azen

Thanks Azen,

I've moved to using standalone for rendering until nodal sketchup is available. BUT I still use the plugin for exporting the orbx data type, works better than .obj.

Hopefully that workflow serves you well in the meantime. I will be sure to make an announcement on the forum when we have made notable progress on the nodal implementation.
