vrmesh file.Ĭurrent Frame – Exports only the current frame. Use Polygon Selection Names – The proxy is exported with a combined 'Polygon Selection Only' polygon selection tag.Īnimation Range – Specifies an animation range to be exported to the. Use Assigned Materials – The proxy is exported with a combined 'Materials Only' material tag. Use Assigned Materials and Polygon Selection Names – The proxy is exported with both material and polygon selection 'Combined Materials and Polygon Selections' tag.

Shader Set Generation – Allows saving the material and/or the selection polygon tags and their future replacement with materials. Preview Faces – Specifies how many faces are going to be used to show a preview of the proxy in the viewport. Preview Type – Specifies the method for producing a preview mesh from the original geometry. Remove Exported Objects – When enabled, removes the exported objects from the scene after the export.Įlements per Voxel – Specifies the maximum number of faces in a voxel after voxel subdivision. The proxies have the correct transformations and materials derived from the original objects. This can be done either from the Cinema 4D user interface.Įxport – Specifies which objects from the scene to be included in the exported proxy.Īdd Proxy to Scene – When enabled, creates proxy objects for the exported meshes.

After the V-Ray proxy is imported, its parameters are accessible in the V-Ray Proxy Manager.īefore you can import a mesh through a proxy object, you need to save (export) the mesh to file first. The proxy import process creates a VRayProxy node, which references geometry from a file on disk. Therefore, if you plan on doing modifications to the mesh, you should keep it in a Cinema 4D file (which may be different from the file that gets rendered in the end). vrmesh file (this can be done in principle, but with some limitations). There is no way to recover the original mesh from a.

You can't change the mesh, or animate it in any way other than animating the position/orientation of the proxy object.

No further modifications to the mesh are expected. It is important to note that the mesh is in a 'ready-to-render' format. The file also contains a simplified version of the mesh used for preview purposes in the viewports. In addition, the mesh is preprocessed and subdivided into chunks for easier access. In short, everything that is needed to render the mesh is included in the file. This file contains all geometric information for a mesh such as vertices and face topology as well as texture channels, face material IDs, smoothing groups, and normals. This page provides information on the import and export of a V-Ray Proxy in Cinema 4D.
