Can Someone please help me, whenever i create a proxy and reload it, the objects reloads without the materials, am i doing something wrong? i need to create proxies for my Viz-Park Tree collection. If you are familiar with these models, they are pretty heavy files and each tree is a single objects with 3 or so selection tags but no matter what i try the materials do not reload along with the proxy. Please Help.. Thanks
the proxy only contains geonometrie without materials. in order to get materials too you need to follow something like this (i personally use option 2):
preperation - group your corona proxy-mesh objetcs together in a null object so you only have 1 object to care about and assign the materials you want on the proxys from the real objetc to the proxy-mesh objects. remeber to save the proxy-mesh files in a seperate folder that does not change location or you will have to reassign the mesh every time you import the proxy... (for example make a folder on C:\Corona Proxys\ and export all proxymeshes into this folder before starting to follow option 1 or 2. you should also consider to assign correct names to those meshes when exporting, you never know if you need to create new proxys again so dont just name them 1,2,3.. but rather ViZPark_tree_XX_leaves1, HQTreesVol2_tree_XX_trunk, ...
option 1 - delete the original object, so that you only have the proxy one with mats left and save it as c4d file to some folder - you can copy/past it with its materials in any scene later.
option 2 - create a new lib4d and drag the null object with the proxys that have materials assigned inside. you can now import this proxy with all mats into any scene from the contentbrowser.
