mudbox to vray exporter

[Krum Angelov]

Hello,
since both the preview mesh and the render mesh can be shown in the viewport and I don't know which one you refer to as "viewport mesh", I'll answer for both.
Render mesh: The proxy has an option tab called "Restore the mesh". From there you can get the render mesh the way it was in mudbox.
Preview mesh: No. (Long version: The idea of the preview mesh is "A low polygon representation(or placeholder) of the render mesh", so it being treated as a seperate mesh hasn't been considered.)

Best regards,
Krum

im talking about the "A low polygon representation(or placeholder) of the render mesh" and only asking for "not triangulate" it...
there is no need for a seperate mesh... its just the triangulation that bothers me...

[vlado]

You mean to preserve the quads?

[FSGFX]

yes that would do the trick...

[FSGFX]

could you upload the exporter to the offial V-Ray tools page.?
think its ready for prime time...

[vlado]

Ok; just wanted to make sure there are no issues

Also, FYI, Krum has made very good progress on the level-of-detail rendering, so hopefully we will be able to show some results soon.

Interesting work!
Will deformation of a low level be supported in the future?

Eventually yes, though probably not at first.

yes deforming proxies would be the golden Egg..!

hi Krum hare you here..?
How does the proxy LOD system work...?

[Krum Angelov]

The LOD system is still in development, there are no official releases with it yet.
