Vray Proxy Made Easy

First topic message reminder :

Hi guys, I just wanted to share my simple process on making a vrmesh(V-ray Mesh) for my vray proxy.

1. Open/merge/import a file or files that you want to convert into a vrmesh. Make sure to ungroup the objects so that you'll have individual exports. Here I chose a tree since it's usually the heaviest(in terms of bytes) component in a scene.


2. Select the object/s, right click over it and you'll find the "V-ray mesh export". Click on it.




3. Export as multiple files, automatically create proxies (we used multiple files to preserve individual maps on your 3d models)




4. And group them together, then "shift drag"(copy/instance) to a desired position and sizes. That's it. Good luck!!!

After the setup, this is the final image together with the other proxies.

tnx sir boks,, pinapagaan mu buhay ng computer ko,, hehehe,,

Ang best dyan bro is open ka ng file ng tree, tapos save mo as treeproxy. Iproxy mo sya dun at i-group together after proxy then save. Now kung gagamitin mo sya. Sa new scene mo, merge mo lang yung file na treeproxy. Easier kasi ang loading nyan kaysa isa isahin mo pa via load proxy.

try to use resource collector at the utilities menu to get all your materials including your max file(if max file is checked in the box) before doing your proxy method...

sir bokkins,i try yung tutorial nyo pro pag nagvmesh na ko nawawala po yung materials.ask again sir pano ko po irerelink ung mga materials.newly lang po talaga me dito sa renering kya dami ko dinpo ask.ty.

sa max, under sa file, click mo yung asset tracking. also, try to read the discussions here, alam ko nabanggit din dito somewhere. like resource collector. or sa pag start mo ng max, pag open mo ng scene. browse mo lang ulit ang location ng materials. automatic na magtatanong yun. good luck.

sir,salamat na marami ulet!!!i follow na lang step by step yung nakalagay din sa forum na to..ty po ulet

parang bakal yon puno pero galing mo paring po sana maging kasing galling ko po kayo

hello po, cnundan ko po tong tuts, kso bakit ganun? un poly count same padin? dko lam kung san nako ngkamali...thanks po.in advance.

thanks sa tutorial, sir bokins pano po iopen ung vrat proxy sa model, merge mo rin ba ung max file nya sa nakaopen na irerender. tnx po

-go to creating and modifying panel
-select vray on the list
-under vray, select object type -->> vray proxy -->>browse your file

salamat po render master, matry ko po, hopefully makapose nako dto ng sample ko sa vray, trying to learn pa kc.

sir bokkin ginawa ko po ung steps nyo, pao open ko dun sa proxy separate lahat nung file,
kailangan ba iproxy each file dun, separated n kc ung sa leaves, branches n trunks, pag narender din po wala na ung mga map nya, pwede po magpose ng screen kung pano gawin na kasama ung mga map, salamat po

hanapin mo lang ang maps bro. click mo ang shift+T.

after mo maproxy, mas ok pag group mo agad. good luck!

salamat po, matry ko po maya after work, sana makuha ko na, natry ko kc merge lng ung file ng evermotion na di sya nakaproxy, pag nirender ang tagal.

hi master boks, thanks po ng marami sa mga tuts nyo samin. sana po lahat ng mga henyo ay kagaya nyo na matulungin. malaking tulong po itong tutorial nyo samin, gamit n gamit po tlga..! question lng po. kpag inaaplay ko po sya s mga objects specially sa tree ay ok n ok nmn pro kpag sa bottle of wine (from evermotion) ko n po inaaplay, instead n ma-less ung polygon count ay nagdodoble p sya. san po kya ako ngkamali?? tnx in advance...

I dont think magdodoble sya. parang may nakita akong post dito before na nagzezero ang polycount pag proxy. so meaning di na sya nakakacount as poly. proxies are subtitute to the real objects, parang blocks kung sa cad.

sir nitry ko po ulit, export as multiple files, ganun po ba talaga pag naexport na lahat separated ung files nya, pano po igroup un, pag proxy ko kasi hindi na sila magkakasama. di gaya pa single file intact pa rin sila.

sir idol master boks, salamat po ng marami s info...

medyo nalito po ako dito ganito po kac lumalabas na window kapag ng vvraymesh export po ako. help naman po dito


ibang iba po sa inyo. sir bokkins

tama yan. ibang version lang pro ang idea pareho. makikita mo na export each selected file in a "separate file". mutiple din ang ibig sabihin nyan.

hi sir.. im angel, newbie lang po ako sa 3d max.. tinatry ko po gamitin yun vray proxy tutorial nyo sa exterior building na ginagawa ko pero everytime po na matapos ko yun step na vraymesh export nawawala po yun building na ginawa ko.. kahit i render ko sya wala na sya sa scene? pano ko po yun mapalitawa ulit? thank you sir

Nakacheck ba ang automatically create proxies? Mesh ba ang object mo?
