Rendering and exporting proxy meshes, scenes, and animation can be done through Grasshopper's C# Script and/or GHPython Script components.
Overview
Rendering and exporting proxy meshes and scenes (including animation) can be done through Grasshopper's C# Script and/or GHPython Script components. The methods are listed in the table below.
public bool RenderAnimation(); | Starts animation renderer. |
public bool Render(bool sync = false);
| Starts renderer. true = function executed synchronously false = function executed asynchronously |
public string ExportProxy(string filePath, bool animated = false);
| Exports .vrmesh file (@" .vrmesh") true = export as animated proxy false = export as static proxy |
public string ExportScene(string filePath, bool animated = false);
| Exports .vrscene file (@" .vrscene") true = export as animated proxy; false = export as static proxy |
| public string ExportSequence(string filePath); | Exports an animation sequence of V-Ray Scene (.vrscene) files (@" .vrscene") |
C# Script
1. Create a C# Script component and plug the renderer output in one of its inputs.
2. Add references to VRaySDK.Net.dll and VRayForGrasshopper.gha
3. In the code editor, cast the input variable to VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer.

|---|---|---|

VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer renderer = x as VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer; renderer.Render(false); |
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer renderer = x as VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer; renderer.ExportProxy(@"filePath\fileName.vrmesh"); |
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer renderer = x as VRayForGrasshopper.Scripting.VRayRenderer; renderer.ExportScene(@"filePath\fileName.vrscene"); |
GhPython Script
1. Create a GhPython Script component and plug the renderer output in one of its inputs.
2. In the code editor, call any of the above methods on the input variable.
