I would like to have proxy too. This is something we're definitely going to include in the future.

Nahh! get out of here!! ;D are you serious? Cause if its true ill stop learning 3d max and vray for max...and i mean it

Re: proxy

yeah, at some point we want it in there. There are a couple issues that are in the way of us adding proxies, and it is a feature addition, not a bug fix, so it does have lower priority... but it is on the list of features we need to add in the future.

Re: proxy

lol, 3ds max is a must for me, i am still in training, to be there with the big boys is a dream for me but if sketchup was to every have its vray with proxies that would be an immense improvement

Re: proxy

yeah the whole point of rewriting our plugin, was to make it faster and more efficient to fix bugs and add new features. We still have a few bugs to iron out, but we're pretty running pretty solid these days. So once we get all the kinks out, we will start adding new features and bringing the product closer to the level that V-Ray for 3D Studio Max or Maya is at (well... at least as close as SketchUp will let us ). We are working on bringing the rewritten plugin over to Rhino right now, and it's currently in beta. Once it gets released, and both products have the same plugin core, we will be able to migrate changes back and forth between the products, add new features, and fix bugs easier.

Thanks so much. Cheers for the info
Nice to know whats going on. Ive been seriously looking at 3d max and Vray for quite some time. Main reason is the use of proxy. But its a massive investment in time and money. Would be wonderful to skip this process and stick with SU and Vray, if this was implemented in the not to distant future. (back at ya)

Re: proxy

please please. lots of people are now shifting with indigo because of this proxy thing. beside max has vray proxy and now asgvis is with chaos group i hope this will expedite. go go go.

Re: proxy

It's a bit tricky to get proxies to work in SketchUp. They are on the list of features to add once the plugin is complete and stable on both the Rhino and SketchUp host apps. We will try our best to add proxies, and hopefully SketchUp won't put up too much of a fight

hehe, looks its a hard request ;D Sketchup team needs to take serious the best render engine that works in skp wich is vray, i wish they can work togheter with you guys :'( But i have read that the skp team goal is more focus on modelling for all than rendering like pros hehe :-\ funny but sad, with all the potencial skp has, they can improve so much the software to make it more compatible with render engines...but seems thats not their mission. :'(

LIKE X 1,000,000,000,000 !!

Proxies are like dream of mine for sketchup :
It's one of Vray's main key features ...

I really believe that after all the hard and impressive work you guys at ASGvis/US CG have done on vfs, there's nothing that can stand in your way!
;D

yey for proxy! in the near future

Back to proxy.. I have posted this feature artists in my blog. http://sketchupvrayresources.blogspo...quimosing.html. He is now using multi-scatter and Vraymax. I love to see his work together with the relaism of planting and grass. but all its possible only because of proxy. I have only have two things with vray.. 1. proxy support and 2. perhaps to consider having a stand alone rendere so that it would not follow the inability of sketchup in handling huge polygon. something like what THEA renderer has done.
