(Fixed) [HOU-2146] proxy export SOP preview

[psanitra]

Not sure if i`m missing something, but i can`t save a proxy with continuous faces/polygons in preview, 3d max style. All i ever get are random disconnected triangles in viewport preview, which does not work for meshes i need to export. I tried all options/settings in the vray proxy export sop or ROP, normals, polysoups even, but not helping. Is there something specific i`m missing or is this feature not available in VFH? Thank you!

bump, Gosho.Genchev is this available or not? thank you!

Hey Peter,

please accept my apology - with all the madness around the V-Ray 5 Beta, I've overlooked the thread. The answer is no - we haven't invested much effort in the proxy export seeing that most people prefer alembics since they offer more flexibility.

All i ever get are random disconnected triangles in viewport preview, which does not work for meshes i need to export.

If you'd be willing to clarify how the limited preview options affect you, I think we should be able to figure something out.

Best regards!

Gosho.Genchev no worries. ABC is not option for us right now, production is using .vrmesh , lot of heavy geo(10-100mil poly objects) are generated in Houdini and assembled in 3d max using vrmesh. With houdini vrmesh not giving us good looking preview, we have to export ABC from Houdini, then load in max, convert to vray proxy in max again, which is unecessary step. I`ll email you some examples today, thank you!
