Corona Proxy

[monkriss]

Hey,

Just started exploring this now too. I opened a high poly bed file and exported it as a proxy with a the object and .mtl file.
I opened a new .blend file and made a cube and attached the bed proxy to it, however the materials are all incorrect. I was wondering if thats just something to do with the .mtl file or if its possible to keep textures and full materials applied to the proxy?

It *should* work did you do an export of the bed first?

Any errors in the output?

[monkriss]

Yeah, so I opened the original .blend file for the bed and then exported it as a proxy into a folder I named "proxy"
Then in the new blend file I created a basic box which i linked to the newly created proxy file.

This is how it renders as a proxy (proxypic.png), and this is how it should look https://imeshh.com/product/bed-with-big-knit-blanket/

Do I need to export the proxy object to the same folder as the textures folder? or pack the textures?

Sorry and I had no errors when exporting

Is the .mtlindex file beside the .mtl and .cgeo/.obj files? Is this binary export or .obj?

[monkriss]

Yeah the .mtlindex was exported with the .mtl and .cgeo file.

And I think I ticked binary mesh export. I'll need to check when i get back home though

If you swap the lines in the mtlindex file does that fix it?

[Sanekum]

It happens sometimes, fix mtlindex text or sort materials in blender as they listed in mtlindex and export proxy again

@Sanekum, thanks!

Hmmm that sounds like a bug, wonder if I can write them out in the same order Blender has them (which is what was intended) instead of alphabetically.

[blanchg]

Yes it was a bug, can you please try v8.0.48 I have tried to fix the mtlindex order to match what is in Blender

[s_charlie]

@monkriss   Try export your bed to the Proxy folder in the default export folder, not just any folder with a "proxy" name. It needs to be the default export folder under the Render tab in blender. Works for me.

Looks like its still there

[blanchg]

Can you send me that blend file please?
