Vray proxy export issue

only a small portion of your processor is being utilized, due to the single threaded nature of Ruby. We have identified the cause for the slow export process, and it is fixed in a nightly build. If anyone is interested in testing a nightly build to see if it works better for them, please contact me.

I have been testing this nightly and I can safely say that the mesh export issue is resolved. Thanks Devin!

Devin, I'd like to be a tester. I need to convert the Willow Tree High Poly model from 3d Warehouse into proxy and my computer freezes every time i try... (i7, win 7 pro) I tried exploding this component to simple polygons, but then it grows from 1.7 mb to over 70 mb when exploded. Simple export to proxy fails. Thank you!

It really isn't a great tree, to be honest. You would be much better off using my Onyx workflow that's on the Chaos website.

Hi, how can I contact You ? Cause i have the same issue - sketchup freezes and nothing happens. Small object are ok, and I can export them to proxy without any problems, but objects with larger geometry always cause problems. I just can't export them.
Has anyone else solved the issue ?

We have finished developing the service release that addresses this issue, you should expect to see it available for download on our website in the next couple of days.

What do you mean "available for download"? We must to reinstall the v-ray for that or…???

yes, it's a service release. It will be version 2.00.24261 I believe. We are experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment, but it should be posted on the site soon.

Yes, the updated version will require uninstalling the older version and then installing the new version.

And it's totally worth it. This service release fixes many little annoying bugs and adds some awesome features. Batch Render and Auto Material ID are my new best friends! Hooray to Devin and the Chaos crew!

Cool update, fixed the export proxy issue but sometimes RT render crashes while in high resolutions.

check your memory usage. SketchUp is a 32bit process, so if you get close to 4gb of ram being used, you're going to get a crash. One day SketchUp will join the 64bit world, and this won't be a problem. Until then, try to keep RT renders in lower resolutions if you can.
