Hello.

I've installed the last Service Release (28445) for Poser Pro 2014 this morning. After all Poser is running fine but:

When I export a poser scene as an OBJ-file and try to import that mesh into Octane 2.x I'll get a file-load-error.
Octane can't import the meshes any longer (I've had no problems using Poser 2014 SR 4)
Is there a workaround so I can import meshes again or will I have to re-install Poser SR4 again?

     Thank you for specifying the build number. :)  Please state what OS you're running (e.g., 64bit Win7Pro).

     If you have a modeler or UV mapper program, try loading the OBJ into that app.  Does it load, or fail?

     If it loads in the modeler/mapper, then save it back out with a unique name.  Can you import the new OBJ into Octane?

 in addition: when using the Poser > Octane plugin the animation tab offers a [ Export Animation ] button which saves the Octane file itself for you.

...thank you.
The OS is Win 8.1 Pro 64 Bit.
Ok. I've tried to import the OBJ from Poser into 3DSMax 2015 - "ungültiger Normalenindex" - Max won't load the OBJ.
After that I've imported the OBJ into UVMapper Pro 2 (no problem at all) and saved the mesh with a different name.
I could import the mesh into Octane (but with no textures)
So it's obvious that the export from Poser doesn't work properly... :-(

BTW: I'm using the standalone-version of Octane - not the plugin...

M.

     Got it.  I'm going to call this to the attention of a friend or two who use Octane.  I'll ask them to respond here with their results.

...found a way to import the OBJ without fiddling around with the UVMapper...

Octane - Preferences - Geometry-Import - Load vertex normals = uncheck.
Don't know if there are any "side-effects" but it's possible to import the mesh this way.

I just checked this

If I deselect all options before exporting I can load the object fine in Octane stand alone. I do get an error if I keep the default options for export

I used stand alone 2.06 to test this with PP2014 gamedev.

I normally use the plugin, so importing objs from Octane standalone has been a long time since I did that and I do not remember which options I used at that time

May not help, but just to add to the conversation.......

Be sure you check what the Skinning Method is set to.  Several of the programs I use (not Octane, sadly) have a problem with Poser's Unimesh object export.

Just go to Figures>Skinning Method and make sure Poser Traditional is selected.

Like I said, may be of no use at all, but thought it was worth mentioning.

...thank you! :-)
