Hi,
We constantly use Vantage when working with heavy scenes that use models from different software(3DsMax, Revit, Sketchup, etc.), different versions and created by different people. 3DsMax files contains thousands of objects hundreds of helpers, hundreds of Multi-Materials. Constant changes are made to the *.max scene and *.vantage scene by different people during the design process.
I would really like to see improvements in ChaosVantage:
1. A script that moves objects in 3dsmax that were moved in Vantage. I am not asking for a reverse Live-Link, but some ability to make changes to the *.max file - moving, rotating, scaling objects. You can make a script that adds Helper objects with the names of moved objects in Vantage (like importing cameras from Vantage into 3dsmax button – it creates new Camera objects and work great).
2. The ability to work with objects with the same names. Or make a warning message when creating a vrscene with duplicate object names and a list of these objects. For now – only one unique name is in object list in Vantage, other objects can not be selected and moved or be hidden.
3. The ability to work with materials with the same names. Or a warning message when creating a vrscene with duplicate material names and a list of these materials. For now ChaosVantage can not use even one materials with duplicate names.
4. The ability to work with MultiMaterial. Many objects are made by VrayProxy+MultiMaterial – it would be very convenient to change only some SubMaterials.
5. Make the work of the Diffuse and Bump(Normal map slot direction works fine) map directions identical. As for now – Chaos Vantage ignores BumpMap direction.
I have attached *.max, *.vrscene, *.vantage files and images.
Thank you.
