[ghiom3d]

Hello,

i've a big issue that i need to solve very urgently

I'm creating some proxy of animated mesh. But i lost the Smooth !


the Left is proxy, the right is the original.

I've try to redo it with Turbosmooth on top before making proxy. It's not help .

I'm using VRAY 2 with 3DSMAX2012 x64.

thanks for your help !

Looks like just one of the meshes is not smooth. Is that object mirrored?

Hello Vlado,

thanks from coming to help me !! I need to solve this very shortly.
My mesh is an extruded text . I had converted to poly and do some modeling.
Then i have try to clean it up with Reset Xform.

so, it's now a mesh . it's full unsmoothed !! the on wich is smooth on my picture is the original mesh .

I must use Vray proxy because it's the only way i find to work with this animation without waiting 3 minutes between each frame on viewport.

It's just a text with many boolean animations made with ProBoolean . but 3DSMAX can't work with this on viewport .
I've try to export as a OBJ sequence, but 3DSMAX have some slowiness too with HD Obj sequence.

With Vray proxy i can work and duplicate the animated mesh . but i can't have the smooth wich is really important for this project .

Can Boolean animation beeing the problem ?

Ok then; unfortunately I don't have an immediate idea of what is going on - if you have the time, please send me a file with just the mesh to vlado@chaosgroup.com and I'll see what can be done about it.

Best regards,
Vlado

Thanks you Vlado , i'm working on an other workstation and it's seems to beeing smooth .
Maybe some VRAY files aren't correctly updated when i apply updates on my worksation ?

So thanks for your help, it's just great to having you when we need you !!
I must finish my animation to start rendering and i will back to undrstand what happening later .

Thanks for your kindness !
