I don’t get this… Tried a few times to make sure it wasn’t a bad export but for some reason the leaves aren’t rendering for this proxy (collapsed to single mesh before export). They’re visible in the vrmesh viewer and also when I display the whole mesh from proxy display settings. Any ideas? [20…

Maybe the opacity map on the leaves is messed up? Or it somehow had something put into the rafraction slot?

thought about that and applied the same material from material editor from when it was mesh (rendered leaves) to when it was proxy (not rendering leaves) - no dice would there be any type of map assigned to a material slot for the leaf that the proxy would not be able to interpret maybe? can’t che…

opened the scene up on another machine and all the maps for the leaves for that particular tree are targa’s (.tga) - would that have anything to do with it?

[image] Rectangle light direction? opened the scene up on another machine and all the maps for the leaves for that particular tree are targa’s (.tga) - would that have anything to do with it? Perhaps something goes wrong with the UV mapping channels or it’s limitation of a specific setup. In a…

any chance it can’t actually find the opacitymap ? if that’s the case then it treats the opacitymap as entirely black

[image] rendered mesh not smooth Perhaps something goes wrong with the UV mapping channels or it’s limitation of a specific setup. In a simple test this workflow works fine here. Can you post a sample to test it here ? Are you using a TGA with Black/White image or the file Alpha channel ? Di…

[image] pale/dark DR buckets Didn’t matter what was used to pull the opacity - the problem was with the mapping. The leaves were not showing up because the opacity map was set to Vertex Color Channel instead of the default Explicit Map Channel. So that was the culprit. See here . Thanks for the…

Here you go If you need more info, let me know. Thanks.

Does the proxy file have ‘force first map channel’ turned on? I noticed that vray has started having that on by default in the newer versions and it’s fucked with our leaves too. took us ages to figure out that was the issue.

no, that remains un-ticked when I create a proxy automatically by right clicking and exporting to vrmesh and also when creating a proxy through the vray create panel - issue was the proxy didn’t like the opacity mapped to the vertex color channel.
