uvwmap over several vrayproxys render probem

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hello,

i got a bunch of vrayproxys, made instaces of them, selected them and applied a UVWMAP.

When i render, it renders the proxys as defined in the preview mode (edges,bounding box,…), and not as a full def mesh.

When i remove the uvwmap, it renders fine.

Any solutions ?

Thanks!

I added in our bug tracking list. The issue seems to occur only on a copy proxy objects not on instanced ones. Could you please confirm that?

I don’t thing that’s a bug. Adding any modifier on top of VRayProxy turns it into regular mesh. If it displays as a box it basically turns into box.

Even with one vrayproxy + uvwmap on top, it only renders the preview

How do you assign materials on a vrayproxy with the correct uvwmap information (scale position etc) then ?

before you turn mesh into proxy.

Ok so uvw information is automatically baked in the proxy, didn’t knew that :wink:

if you need to adjust something quickly - turn proxy into mesh (when visible as ‘full mesh’), change mat IDs, tex coordinates or whatever and export proxy again.

yes, that is how it works for the moment. We are working on fixing that behavior.

As piotrus3333 mentioned the proxy keeps UV information in its self. Therefore you need to apply the UVW mod before exporting the proxy.
