DonRomano Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hey guys, I try to export particles to maya with a redshift proxy but when I try to export it, the proxy appears empty. I tried using both the Output Proxy Sop and the Redshift Rop and both give the same result. Is there anyone who know why this would happen ?

flcc Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 As far as I know rsProxies are not really cross-platform compatibles Better to use alembic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I used this method to put particles into Maya, but it seems that it doesn't work and I don't know why. The proxies are empty but they shouldn't..

flcc Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Actually, you're right. Problem with rsProxies beteen DCCs is with materials. Checked my files, I did a little export test last year, to get particles in C4D in various way, and rsProxy works. Don't remember why, but I preferred to use alembic. I attach the file, et au cas ou, I put also the generated rsProxies, tested in C4D, and not empty.

Atom Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I believe a material is embedded in the .rs proxy file, but the problem is pathing to any textures. You can override in the DCC, but pure procedural materials should transfer fine. Try a simple silver or plastic on your .rs proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRomano Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yeah so Atom you were right, I've just added a simple material and it did the work, I totally forgot about it.. Thanks anyway guys !! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
