Problem with xref objects in max.
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 10:43 pm
Hi,
I've noticed a strange behaviour with max plugin that could be a bug. I don't know if it's something known.
I'm working on a scene with plenty of trees. These trees are xref objects that refer to a proxy tree that shows on screen instead of its hi-poly version (max native proxy method, not maxwell proxy). If I launch the render straight from max the proxies work as they should and hi-poly trees shows in render but, if I export the scene (from file menu) the proxy objects do not swap for the hipoly ones and I get low poly trees in render.
Also, if I hide some instances of these trees by right-clicking on viewport > hide selected the trees still show in render. I have to delete them. Turning their layer off works though.
Note: of course I'm using instances.
