Keep material IDs in VRayProxy preview mesh

[increase]

Hello,
Would it be possible to preserve face material IDs when generating preview meshes? Often it is useful to apply the original material to the proxy and being able to see sub-material colors/textures.

And while on the subject, in 2.30.01, this was added:
(*) Added the possibility to specify a preview mesh for the vrayMeshExport MaxScript function
Where would one find the parameter name for this?

Many thanks!

I would like this as well.

Thanks for the suggestion; it should not be too hard to implement it.

For the vrayMeshExport function, the flag for specifying a preview is previewMesh:nodeName

Best regards,

So many times I wished I could check a material or ID on a Proxy

Thanks for the quick reply Vlado. Just to clarify, I was referring to the custom preview meshes, but ideally both types should be keeping the IDs. Looking forward to that update
