OK, Pity one cannot export the MTL file, make a huge difference, especially if you have done the work to assign all the materials in RS already. Repeat work.
It might be time to ask for an OBJ exporter update once again - to include an MTL file :D That scene I popped up was already textured. I imported the OBJ ./ MTL file into Octane and only needed to do a small bit of tweaking on the texture front. But then I suppose you could just use RS to do the modelling with no texturing, import into Octane and do all the texturing there ..
