Title: help with proxies!
Post by: gabrielefx on 2015-03-01, 16:48:14

Hi all,
I'm testing the new Corona 1.001
I did a clean installation deleting the previous version (alpha 6) within the 1.0 installer.
I opened an old scene with a lot of vegetation created with Forest Pack Pro.
Last year I created all my Corona proxies via the Vrayproxy converter script.
Now in all my scenes all proxies are disappeared!
What can I do?

selecting a CoronaProxy I read: (ERROR) Cannot parse file 'my path...\myproxy.cbin'

It seems that Corona can't read the old cbin file structure

please help.

regards

yes,
Corona 1.001 tries to read the proxy files, the path is ok but the cbin files are not recognized.

Nope, unfortunately MR proxy is proprietary nVidia ARC format, which is completely closed black box.

I've got this exact same problem! Proxies made with V6 Corona can't be loaded with 1.001. I get the same error message '(ERROR) Cannot parse file'.

The network paths are all correct.... Any help please.

Have you tried the BATCH CONVERT option?

What does batch convert do please?

Look at the "tool tip", I guess this is what you need.

I've had a play around with the Batch Convert and it constantly says 'successfully resaved 0 proxies'. I have tried the folder with the max files in and the separate folder with the proxies in... Any ideas?

Hi, could you submit a new support ticket with a good description of your problem? (if you haven't done that already) https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new - this will be the most convenient way to find a solution.

Got a huge scene with lots of vray proxies that I need converted. Also tried the Batch Proxy button, but same result as MGDesignUK: "successfully resaved 0 proxies". Did you find a solution to this?

Try to run 3ds max as admin, and make sure what you have permission to folder (not on C disk), i have the same problem some time ago, maybe script can't save files because of permission
