Exporting Through the Asset Editor

File Path – The name of the file. The file is saved in a custom folder, specified by pressing the Save File icon on the right.

Strip Paths – When enabled, all file paths of the assets in the vrscene are stripped down to file names. Conversion of the paths from absolute to relative allows safe vrscene transfer, as long as its asset files are moved to the same directory.

Hex for Meshes – Compresses geometry data in binary form to reduce its size, so it is preserved without any chance of round off errors.

Hex for Transforms – Compresses object transformation data in binary form to reduce its size, so it is preserve without any chance of round off errors.

Export – Exports the .vrscene file to the specified folder.

Exporting Through the Toolbar Button

To create a proxy through the V-Ray Objects Toolbar, select the group or component you want to export. The icon will remain inactive until an object in the scene is selected. When you select a group or component in the scene, the Export Proxy button will become active.

If you want to export a geometry selection, select the geometry and press the Export Proxy button. From the drop-down menu of the Mode option,choose Proxy Scene, and then press Export. Note that the geometry is exported together with its shaders and lightning.

Mode – Allows you to choose between Proxy Mesh (.vrmesh) and Proxy Scene (.vrscene) export. The addition of Proxy Scenes allows you to export a selection of geometry, lights, and special objects combined into a single proxy.

File Path – The name of the file. The file is saved in a custom folder, specified by pressing the Save File icon on the right.

Overwrite Existing File – When enabled, V-Ray automatically overwrites any existing file with the same name at the specified path.

Strip Paths – When enabled, all file paths of the assets in the vrscene are stripped down to file names. Conversion of the paths from absolute to relative allows safe vrscene transfer, as long as its asset files are moved to the same directory.

Replace Object with Proxy – If enabled, the source object is automatically replaced with its proxy version. Material assignments is preserved.

Export – Exports the .vrscene file to the specified folder. 

File Path – Specifies the VRScene file.

Preview Type – Specifies the viewport preview type. This does not affect the final render.

Preview Faces – Uses an automatically generated number of preview faces.
All Faces  – Displays the full model. 
Bounding Box – Displays a preview of the .vrscene using bounding boxes.
Point (Origin)  – Displays the point of origin and axes directions stored within the VRScene geometry.
Custom Preview – This option allows for changing the proxy file without affecting/updating the preview geometry. The .vrscene in existing projects will be loaded with the Custom Preview enabled by default, making sure that no custom user preview geometry gets deleted by the automatic update. 

Face Count – Sets the preview face count for the preview if Preview Faces is selected. 

Lights – When enabled, lights from the imported VRScene will illuminate the current scene. 

Use Mtl Override – When enabled, the global Material Override option in the Render Settings overrides the .vrscene proxy assets. When disabled, the materials in the referenced scene are not affected by the Material Override option in the Render Settings.

Enabled () – Turns the Animation on and off.

Offset – Offsets the beginning of the animation by the given number of frames. You can use positive as well as negative values here. The default value of 0.0 starts the animation at the first available frame.

Playback Type – Determines how playback will behave. 

Loop – The animation plays to the end and loops back to the first frame once it has finished.
Once – The animation plays once.
Ping-pong – The animation is looped by playing it backwards once the last frame has been reached and then playing it forward again when the first frame is reached again.

Playback Speed – A multiplier for the speed of the animation. A value of 1.0 plays the animation at normal speed, while 2.0 plays it at double speed and 0.5 plays it at half speed. 

Animation Start – Specifies the frame used for the beginning of the animation. 

Animation Length – Specifies the number of frames used to play the animation.
