VRay mesh export replacing options

[henning]

Currently the "automatically create proxies" seems to delete the original object. I would like to have the option to only hide the original object or just leave it untouched.

Hi henning

Apologies for the delay. This has now been logged as an improvement request internally under VMAX-10741;
I'll let you know when there are any updates on the matter.

any update?

Hi gandhics,

Not yet, I'm afraid - I'll log your request in the ticket as well.
It will be super useful if you could share some details on how you expect this to work - do you want an option to keep the original mesh file and once you use the "automatically create proxies" option, to get a proxy on top of that mesh? Are there any other specifics you'd like to point out? Thanks!

What I really need is the consolidated material on proxy. If I can get the consolidated material through by-reference parameter passing, that would work for me, too.
