vray scene reads slower than maya

[LeoYfver]

Im not really sure how it works but the .vrscene attached opens in maya without a sweat but freezes houdini. it seems that maybe the proxy preview Type set to bounding box does the trick. probably on packed alembics.

Maybe these features are new in maya. But placeholder that they have sounds nice but i cant find documentation on how it works. Otherwise a choice to be able to load it but not view it or as a bounding box would be nice

Hi, with todays build vrscene is loaded in less than a second on my side. But you can always set the preview faces to some small value, and than load the scene.

btw do you guys know if I can hide objects in vrscene with snippet code? Cant really figure out how to use it.

[Gosho.Genchev]

I think an easier approach would be to enable Expand Primitives under the Main tab and use an Unpack SOP to reach the object you want removed. You can then drop a Blast SOP and delete the object by specifying it in the Group field. You can also use a Material SOP to override the material.

Anyway, to answer your question, here's an example snippet

Node |obj|grid1|node {
visible=0;
}

Where |obj|grid1|node is the name of the object I'm hiding.

Hope that helps!

thanks! it works perfectly

[LeoYfver]

is it possible to use wildcards or regex? cant get it to work so maybe it doesnt work

[bdancer]

> is it possible to use wildcards

Yes, inside "<>".

Like:

Node <*grid*> {
    visible=0;
}
