Example: Applying an Override to Objects with Similar Names

In this example, typing *box* (the word box between wildcards) in the Rule targets all objects in the hierarchy containing that word. This applies the Visibility Override to all of them.

This input is applicable to both .vrmesh and .abc files, and to both Visibility and Material override types. The keyword does not have to be a word - it can be a symbol or number as well. As long as all desired objects contain that value inside the wildcards, the material is applied to them.

This rollout becomes active only if the loaded proxy file is in an .abc file format. When enabled, specific ID numbers can be assigned to the existing UV/Color channels and Material IDs. It allows easy modifications on the fly, without the need of re-exporting the original geometry and rendering different variants all at once.

  • Standard shadow maps do not include information about the proxy objects. If you want the proxy objects to cast shadows, you should use the VRayShadow shadow type.
  • The proxy preview cache depends on the chosen Display type. It may need a reset to function properly. See the Preview cache options for more information.
