Title: Can't resize cosmos assets
Post by: rafaz on 2023-03-21, 14:47:59
hello,

Quick question here, just recently i downloaded vray to give it a try and notice the assets  from  vray cosmo are resizable just by using the transform tool. The corona version is not resizable, at least on my machine either on mac or windows. The only way to resize the asset is by converting to mesh. Also notice on the video attached that it is very possible to resize by using the transform tool.

Could this be a bug ou a setting issue?

Latest daily release on mac and windows.

Switching from Model mode to Object mode works for me. The only downside to scaling this way is it doesn't affect any instances if you rescale after creating the instances.

That way does work but is not very practical and like Cambridge said, it doesn't work with instances.

You can see in the videos @ 1:20 min it used to work and it stopped at some point, it would be great to bring back that.

Hi guys, a simple XPresso tag should help here as a workaround. Now in object mode, scaling the proxy will also scale the instance. ;)

Ok, this is a workaround for now right?

Will we see the fix in future updates?

For now, yes. I have logged this but cannot make any promises. ;)

For the record. It has always worked this way. It's not a bug ;)

the tag is a good idea, i will use this. had the same issue before with instance scalings from proxies

Sorry to drop in this late, but

Can you not put the proxy inside a null and then instance the Null (pressing ALt+G to match the proxy coordinates)?
Then when you rescale the proxy (preferably with the scale tool in object mode), the instances also follow, keeping their individual scale settings (p.e. when you applied random scaling with the c4d randomize objects tool...?

We work like this since... well, ever...
in fact it has become an unwritten rule here in our office :-D

it also provides possibility for other quick adaptations to all instances for offset moving /rotating the instances and adding suick details such as ground spots for trees to name one...

Proxies can now be scaled in ''model'' mode.
