Hi Max,

I've noticed from forum that you use Octan for rendering.

Don't you have similar script like MoI/Cyclec for Octan users by chance? :-)

All good to you.

Hi Mik

Sorry, I didn't write such a script. I prefer to import obj manually.
The only script I wrote for Octane render is MoI scatter tool.

Thanks a lot, Max!

I import obj into Octane manually as well of course, no problem with it.
It was only idea to have some fusion of these great softwares :-)

Hi Max, I've just picked up this tread on the blog. Thanks.

I have installed the latest versions of Cycles and the script and all works fine and Cycles opens on running the _cycles script. The Cycles window is grey and blank but cycles is running. I have set the 3D view to 'perspective' and read the whole blog and cannot see a solution for this problem.

I am using a MS Surface Book on Windows 10.

Hi Matt
Are you using software or gpu cycles version?
Try this one: http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/Cycles.CPU.zip

---

I'm using Cycles.cpu
I tried the download you shared and still get the saame grey cycles window.

Will the script work with version 2 of Moi?.

Hi Michael,

> Will the script work with version 2 of Moi?.

I don't know, but most newer complex scripts need functions that are in version 3. You could give it a try though.

Thanks for the feedback Michael, appreciated!.

Hello Max, Michael and all,

because i could not find a binary for OS X on the net i compiled it myself two days ago.
I just want to let you know that it is vers. 1.7.0 standalone and your script seems no
longer compatible with it. Now Cycles requires <cycles> and </cycles> tags in the
.XML files. I also noticed that i have problems with the FOV parameters in the script
and with MoI. Once i completely omitted the FOV parameter in the .XML file, i got reasonably
render result.

Because i don't know if it was tested under OS X i like to ask if you or Michael, or
anybody else knows how to change the script so that it no longer writes in MoI's Temp
directory and how to start the Cycles program with your script under OS X.

Best regards
Stefan

Here's a screen shot showing a test set-up without the FOV parameter usage in your script. With the FOV parameter i get when changing (for zoom-in) up-side down images for example.

Can you give some more details? What is the MoI Temp directory that you're referring to, and what is currently being written there, and what directory do you want it changed to write to instead?

I'm not familiar with this script myself but if I started out knowing some more details that would help.

Hello Michael,

i used Max's Cycles script from here:

http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/

and it writes all files (.xml, .obj, .mtl) required for Cycles in MoI's drive_c/users/Wineskin/Temp/ folder.

I then copy those files to my Desktop in a folder and run then Cycles from the command line.

I would like to be able that the script does not write into the MoI app, instead i would like to see that
it writes for example to a folder on the Desktop.

Best regards
Stefan

Hello Michael,

here's the path seen from terminal:

Hi Stefan, so the temp path is set on line #59 in hte file _Cycles.htm which currently has this:

	var tempPath = moi.filesystem.getTempDir();

To make it go into a directory on your desktop try changing that first trying an OS X native path like this for example:

	var tempPath = '/Users/stefan/Desktop/Cycles/';

Let me know if that makes the files go to where you wanted them or if it still doesn't work.

This may also help the auto launch of cycles to work as well, let me know if that part still doesn't work. At least one problem with the auto launching part was giving cycles a Windows/Wineskin style path name as a parameter instead of a mac native file path, and since cycles isn't a wineskin app it won't understand a Wineskin type path.

Hi Michael,

thank you so much for your quick help! Now it works perfectly. It saves in the proper location and starts Cycles too! :-)
Super!

Best regards
Stefan

You're welcome Stefan, that's great that was all it took to get it working on Mac!

Hi,

I tried to find the download for Cycles Standalone /for Windows 8 and XP) but did not find it.

Any tips are warmly welcome !

---

Hi Tom,

have you tried this one?

So I will try to get it working now - thank you !!
