Is it possible to animate a VRay proxy after the fact?

[Morne]

Hi all

Well the title says it. Can I animate a proxy after I already made it a proxy?

What are you asking? Hopefully one of these covers your question:

- As far as I know you can't apply modifiers to proxies.

- You CAN animate a proxy (position, rotation, scale).

- You can overwrite an existing proxy with an animated proxy that you've done later on.

yes I think that answers it. I wanted to bend and maybe add flex afterwards...

No, Max thinks it's bitmap not a model..hence the ram savings. There for you can not apply transforms. You can make animated proxies in SP2 though but saving your animated mesh out to an animated proxy.
