Softimage to Octane

Hi, When I export i have hard edges on my mesh(you can see the polygons). The SI to O plugin by Face doesn't work right in the demo I think, so I'm not using that. The polygons are not smoothed.
I just exported as obj.
SI 2012 sp1
Octane 2.46
Thanks

I don't know that there is a demo version of my plugin
But hard edges work, also with subdivided surfaces...

Your plugin doesn't work well with Octane demo. It messes up the positions of objects.
When I export using normal obj export it doesn't.
How do I make SI export smooth meshes? SUB D?

I don´t know which plugin version you use, the current is 2.48c and it support hard edges.
You can see it on the image, where a subdiveded cube with hard edges is used as an instance shape for particles with randomized colors.
Also an exported area light is used. The plugin converty all area lights to a real geometry...

I would like to test Octane. Is it possible with the free version to have the softimage exporter ?
Regards,

exporter scripts are available only to customers for now, but if you want to test it just export to obj from softimage following the tips in this thread
http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... f=21&t=362 and then add a new mesh node in octane and load the obj file.
