vray proxy and materials!!???

[alkis]

hello everyone
i ve only managed to start testing the latest beta version due to huge project workload
one of the main fetaures that we wanted to test is the vray proxy beacuse our models are of huge areas ( large masterplans) and we have a serious memory - high poly count issue.
it is a very powerful option.
but.....
at the moment it looks like its completely unusable unless we need to render millions of teapots with the same material
is it just a beta issue that the material does not get stored with the proxy??
will it be solved?
is there a workaround to allow it to include material information of the original object?
the help files say that it doesnt store materials
if thats the case for the fianl version then whats the point of having it in the first place?
i would really appreciate any input
thanks in advance
kind regards
alkis

hello again
after some more extensive searching on the forum i found some questions to my answer
so you could disregard the above post
however
any chance in the near future of being able to export multiple objects or a scene as one vraymesh that retains all the material info as well??
having to attach everything or export multiple seems to be a bit tedious for very large scenes
even so it looks like the begining of a new era for us with less sleepless night babysitting renders and debating the use of more or less polygons
