Maxwell Render - Proxies question

[pieterv]

Hello,

I love the way proxies work in Maxwell render, but I have a question. When I make a proxy component out of a complex tree, like in the images underneath, I don't want the same side of the tree always facing me. But when I turn the proxy components all in a different direction, something strange happens. For some reason these trees start to move around (see the last image). Does anyone knows how to do this properly please?

Thanks!

Pieter

I don't use Maxwell but a guess would be that the pivot point isn't centered so when rotated the high res object "moves".

hi pieterv,
as pixero suggestes: the problem is the axis or pivot location, make sure that the axes of your components (highpoly and proxy) are located along the center of the trunk of the tree...

Aha! Thanks! I will try this. Many thanks!
