I just noticed that:
1)If I copy a component that has vray materials applied, within a same SU file, all vray materials will show in the copy.
2)If I copy a component that has vray materials applied, to another file, vray materials will no longer be available.
3)If add a new component library in SU whith the original file with vray materials applied, and insert the componentto a new file, vray materials will not show.
There must be a way to fix this.
At the moment my workflow to create a clipmap is:
- create a clipmap component using png (to have wysiwyg effect in SU)
(insert png, explode, make component, face camera, change axes
- create a vray material (not linked) to map the component
- apply the material to the component
- export the material I used (it makes it easy if you use the same name for the material and the component)
My workflow to use the clipmap I created in a new file is:
- create a new component library in SU selecting the folder where I saved my clipmap.skp file
- insert component
- import material i previously exported
- apply the matching material to component
- copy/scale the component (if needed)
I hope this is going to be useful. It would be nice if some of the steps in the workflow were automated by the vray plugin, I have suggested some solutions for this purpose in the whishlist forum.
Any suggestions to make the workflow smoother are greatly appreciated.
Cheers
