Title: VRay Proxy - Proxy Mesh Visibility
Post by: JC4004 on April 06, 2016, 04:19:56 AM
Hey, is there anyway to control (randomize) objects or a selected set of objects in a VRay Proxy - "Proxy Mesh Visibility" -  from within forest pro. Effects script or something??

Cheers,

Keith

Hi,

Well, Forest can't access these VRayProxy object settings (like the Proxy mesh visibility), but I would suggest you a work-around for such purposes by using the Forest Color (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Forest+Color) map.

Each "object" inside of the VRayProxy object should use a different material and by wiring the Forest Color map to the Opacity slot of such material and using black & white maps you can drive its visibility (& tweak its probability). Attaching screenshot of a possible set-up.

Hope you'll find it useful.

Best regards,
