I am having issues with this aswell, for some reason it will swap out half the proxies correctly, but the other half remain as vray proxies BUT have the .cgeo in the mesh file: path
eg.


I also just want the proxies to overwrite the current ones in whatever directory they are in:

Code: [Select]

CoronaProxyConverter.convertProxies overwrite:true
Seems to be creating the error above, is my code correct?

Houdini! Why? it will force Corona to look more to VFX then Archviz! :)
I use 3ds max for 18+ years and learning Houdini! if i change my main software one day it will be Houdini! so pls! it´s time to step a little further in corona development goals LOL!!

interesting you say this, i myself do archviz and looking and use 3dsmax. I have been keeping an open mind lately and had a look Cinema 4D  + HB MODELLINGBUNDLE 2.1 for Cinema 4D - Helloluxx as an alternative - which is similar to max's modelling tools. Houdini interests me greatly but as mentioned above - is quote programmer orientated. Rhino + Grasshopper seem like an amazing combination for archviz. I was amazed to see blender + archimesh (not to mention floor generator plugins, roof tiles etc -

index=2&list=PLQAfj95MdhTJ7zifNb5ab-n-TI0GmKwWQ&t=228s).

At this point Im leaning on the fence - but i think id love to see corona on blender!  :D

Could I clarify a few more things?

These were the other variables I had in my script, I want to know how to call these correctly as I still get some errors;

Code: [Select]

CoronaConverter.convertScene() true
CoronaConverter.converterTools.fixCoronaNormalGamma() true
CoronaProxyConverter.convertProxies overwrite:false
CoronaConverter.converterTools.DisableDisplacementTex() true
CoronaConverter.converterTools.fixOpacityMapsUsingMonoChannel() true
CoronaConverter.converterTools.convertVrayDisplacementMods() true

I would like to know where I can view the references for each command - I cant find these on the wiki (for future modification) such as; overwrite:false - what more options do I have other than overwrite?

thank you for your time!

Hi,

I am trying to create a batch script from the CoronaConverter help file (http://www.racoon-artworks.de/CoronaConverter/mxsDocumentation.html)

I have most things I need just 1 issue I was hoping to resolve;
< CoronaProxyConverter >.convertProxies() [location:< string >] [overwrite:< Boolean >]

I want to export to the current location the vray proxy - and suppress any dialogue box/warning. Currently when I do this I have to click Yes every time - I want this to be Yes automatically.

I have:
CoronaConverterSuppressGui = true
CoronaProxyConverter.convertProxies() true

But this does not work :S It still requires a response. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

edit:
small success, no cigar...

I want to supress this dialogue...
---------------------------
Corona Proxy Export
---------------------------
One or more CoronaProxy files do already exist on Disk, do you want to overwrite them?

(If you press "No", the existing files will be used for the generated Proxies)
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

This is what the maxscript tells me...
CoronaProxyConverter.convertProxies() "overwrite:true"
Generated CoronaProxy: X:\Proxies\AG11_4.cgeo
(interval 0f 100f)
"overwrite:true"

It looks all blue and no errors woo! but still get the dialogue box that I have to confirm every time :S
