I have problems with Ivygenerator and vray proxy.
I have animation project with 15 same villas and I would like to instance them but they have lots of ivy foliage on them and before I did that I have tryed to make vray proxy but it doesnt work.
When I try to render it crashes while calculating lightcache.
Even when I try to render just one proxy Ivy the max craches.
I use Vray 1.5 RC2 and I dont want to upgrade it to new version of vray untill I finish this project.
I never had any problems making proxys with Onyx trees and this is my first time I try to make it with ivy.
Hi!
Recently I had the same problem but with onyx trees. I had 3 different types but for some reason I didn’t instance them but i did copies. And that was crashing Max at LC calculation- not enough memory /RAM/. I also read the troubleshooting guide at the vray online help site- that gave me some ideas too.
With a script i did make all proxies instances and the problem was gone for good. Never used Ivygenerator though…
The problem is that I didnt copy them.
I have just converted one mesh to proxy and tryed to render it and max crashed.
By the way when I render mesh before I convert it to proxy everything is ok but I cant afford to have 200 instanced meshes of Ivy because of memory, and I need proxy.
did you convert the ivy to editable mesh before converting to proxy?
They are editable mesh.
Check it out.
i converted it to vraymesh and rendered it in a blank scene and even though i got the warning “warning: performance loss: dynamic memory limit too low” it still rendered. took forever and a day to render though. actually it seemed to get stuck on some part of it. dont know why.
when i opened the vraymesh in max8 i didnt get any warnings though.
seems to be stuck in max8 as well. why not generate another mesh
There was a problem with older versions of V-Ray rendering large proxies; this should be fine in the latest builds though.

latest builds? im using sp1? is there something newer on the download section now?
I meant that older versions crashed; the newer versions will render, although slowly if the dynamic memory limit is too low.

But this is not a big proxy.
I have exported one three times bigger ivy and there were no problems with it.
By the way in my task manager memory usage jumps from 1 gb to 2 gb every 10 seconds and I get graph looking like wave.
The problem is not hi poly mesh but something other.
Maybe you can download it Vlado and try something.
Thanks.
Yep, just trying now.
Best regards,
Vlado
Did you remind what you have done with the Ivy. vrmesh. I have the same problem here…
Thank you
