I work on 2 Computers who have different sdd structure and cannot use therefor absolute file paths to work on same scene. This is no problem since Corona can look into Cinema’s asset paths and thus use relative file names. How ever when I set bunch of Proxies from absolute to relative path the viewport slows down to cca. 3 fps. Going back to absolute paths, viewport speed is normal again. Could you try to reproduce this problem? If not I can make screen video for demonstration.
Hi, all the time unfortunately, until I use current computers absolute file path, then it disappears. I will make a screen recording when I have more time.
Does it happen with a particular scene/Proxy file only?
Also is it possible for you to share the scene and the proxies or at least part of them that we can use to reproduce the issue?
If you don’t want to share it publicly, you can use our private uploader: Chaos
Thanks for the scene file and video. It is currently being added to our internal bug reports for further testing. Could you also supply your Cinema, Corona version’s and what OS you are running? Update, just found these details of yours, are they still current?
System:
Corona 5 RC2
Cinema 4D R21
Mac Os Catalina 10.15.1
Hi Daniel, We have tried and tried but cannot reproduce this “slowly down issue” once the paths are modified. Are you still experiencing this issue? Is it for any proxy scene or just this one?
Hello,
it happened in any scene with any proxy, granted more complex the proxy was and more of them were in the scene the more significant slowdown was. I will look at it again to see if there is some dependency on object. Are you able to try it on Mac?
yes, I’ve tried it on Mac Catalina and no repro as well
It would be very helpful if you can try to repro it with Corona4D V4, as Proxies were rewritten in V5.
You can download V4 here Download | My Chaos
Sorry guys, I noticed this strange problem still exists in v6 rc3 FPS drops from 32 to 14 if path in proxy attribute is set to relative instead of absolute, checking “keep in memory” makes no difference. Proxies are rather small plants.
Hi Daniel
just curious, what’s the advantage of using the Corona proxy over simply using a display tag?
I find the workflow of saving out a c-proxy and linking it back in the scene a bit clunky.
Doesn’t the “shading mode / style” in the display tag achieve the same thing?
No need for a “relative path"…
What am I missing?
advantage of corona proxy is that you do not increase size of the projects, in opposition to copying all meshes into every project.
I use display Tag as well as Corona Proxy
