Adding multiple vrayproxies to a scene in one go

[tricky]

As the title suggests, it would be good to be able to add more than one proxy to a scene at once. Surely this is quite a basic request?

I know that's not really the answer you were waiting for, but that can easily be done by script, if you collect all the proxies you wish into a single folder.

files = getfiles "e:\\proxies\\*.vrmesh"
for i in files do
(VRayProxy filename:i)

Best regards,

You could keep them all in max files.
They don't even keep materials as a raw proxy do they?

When I have ever needed to do that (maybe twice), I've merged hundreds of Vray proxies from a max file that was just the proxies and it worked fine. They came in with their materials, too...Maybe I misunderstand the question?

I have about 20 different grass models (for example) that have been saved as individual proxies with individual max files (for their materials). At the moment, you have to load each of them, one at a time.

maybe you can merge them all into one file for future use

So, each max file contains one proxy? If so, can't you put all the proxies in one max file, than you just have to merge that single max file containing the proxies...

I guess, that's just all work around to the problem

It would be great to have the possibility to select more than 1 file in the "Choose external mesh file" window dialog box
