Vraymesh importmesh option

[stevesideas]

Hi there,

Couple of things. Firstly, sometimes this import mesh takes ages to do..more than 10 mins for a single tree mesh. Also, the spot3d docs for vraymesh need to be updated..they still dont include the new import mesh option.

Vlado suggested unchecking "Weld vertices in result" under the import options and it speeds it up dramatically.

Ok thanks for that. Just wondering why that option is there ? Does converting the mesh to a vrayproxy de-weld vertices or change the original mesh ? Also, should this option be set to off by default instead of on ?

During a .vrmesh file export, V-Ray may split the original mesh in smaller chunks that can be loaded independently of one another. This may cause some vertices to be duplicated in more than one chunk. Checking this option will cause V-Ray to perform a weld operation after the mesh is imported, so that split vertices are merged.

Best regards,
Vlado

Ok cheers. Good to know.
