Transcript 00:00:00 --> 00:00:06 mr Proxy objects are useful when rendering many instances of an object using the mental ray renderer. 00:00:06 --> 00:00:14 They are particularly useful with high-polygon count objects such as fancy seats in an opera house or 3D trees. 00:00:14 --> 00:00:21 The reason is that they don't need to be converted to mental ray objects and you don't even need the source objects to be present at render time. 00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 This saves time and frees memory for rendering. 00:00:25 --> 00:00:29 The viewport display of an mr proxy approximates the source object. 00:00:30 --> 00:00:35 This helps with viewport performance when you have hundreds or thousands of instances to render.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41 In this scene you have 4 oak trees created using the AEC Extended Foliage object. 00:00:41 --> 00:00:55 Their level-of-detail, parameters and materials have been adjusted to represent the four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. 00:00:55 --> 00:01:01 You will create mr-proxies of these trees that you can later scatter across an uneven terrain. 00:01:01 --> 00:01:06 Go to the mental ray Create sub-panel and choose mr Proxy. 00:01:07 --> 00:01:12 Click & drag a proxy object of any size, and then go to the Modify panel. 00:01:13 --> 00:01:19 Click the None button under Source Object and then select a tree, for example the winter tree.

2013-5-10  The Autodesk Material Library consists of three sub-libraries: Autodesk Material Library 2014: Contains the material appearances used for Realistic Appearance in color styles. This component is installed by default, and it is required for 3ds Max to have full visual style and color style functionality.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23 Click the Write Object to File button. 00:01:24 --> 00:01:29 Navigate to the folder where you have placed the scene files you downloaded for this tutorial, 00:01:29 --> 00:01:35 and then specify a name for your mr proxy, for example MyProxyTree-Winter. 00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 As you save the file a dialog appears. 00:01:38 --> 00:01:44 Here you can leave the default Current Frame active, in the case of a non-animated object like this oak tree, 00:01:44 --> 00:01:49 or you can specify an animation if you are creating an mr proxy of an animated object. 00:01:50 --> 00:02:00 Click OK to exit the dialog.

Of course, some big basic changes will help identify the decade, like most Permanent guitars were built before ’64, but not all of them. Most Baldwin guitars that Sho-Bud built were built from ’66 to ’69, and were built alongside some Permanent guitars and almost all of the Fingertip guitars. As I said, design changes were fluid. So here we have three different guitars being built by Sho-Bud at the same time. Emmons steel guitar serial numbers.

The mr proxy object is created as a.mib file format and a preview.bmp image is created and displays in the panel. 00:02:01 --> 00:02:09 The display of the mr proxy in the viewport is done by a set of points or Viewport Verts, which mimics the shape of the source object. 00:02:10 --> 00:02:13 You can increase or decrease this number to your liking. 00:02:14 --> 00:02:22 Keep in mind that increasing the number may have an effect on viewport performance when you start adding multiple instances of the mr proxy. 00:02:22 --> 00:02:27 You can also enable Show Bounding Box as a way to frame the volume. 00:02:28 --> 00:02:37 You can repeat this procedure to create mr proxies for the other trees, or use the.mib/.bmp files you downloaded for this lesson. 00:02:38 --> 00:02:49 To load an mr proxy from disk, you create a new mr proxy object of any size, go to the Modify panel, and then specify a Proxy File to load.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59 The mr proxy size is adjusted to match the source object. 00:03:00 --> 00:03:05 You can adjust the scale if you need the mr proxy to be bigger or smaller that the source object. 00:03:06 --> 00:03:11 Load up the remaining trees to have four proxies for the four source trees. 00:03:36 --> 00:03:44 If you render the scene now, you will notice that the mr proxies, although identical to the source objects as far as geometry goes, 00:03:44 --> 00:03:48 render only according to their wirecolors. 00:03:48 --> 00:03:55 If you start building a library of mr proxies, you might also want to save their material libraries as well.
