why my proxy is transparent in vray rhino?

P.s the photos here are of the material that I was trying to apply, the GPU version of the rendering and the CPU version of the rending. To solve this would be a massive help in my workflow. Look in the 'type' drop down menu, it is probably already set to 'sky' default depending on which version of vray you are using. there exist lists of IOR in the net, google. Neither of them look as I had hoped, and there seems to be nothing that I can do to change the mapping. go to: vray - options - environment - check the back next to 'background' then click on the little 'm' next to the background field and a 'vray texture editor' window will pop up. Reflection: minimum lower than black (black no reflection, white mirror) Refraction: white (black opaque /nontransparent, white transparent) IOR Index of Refractoin: 1,47 (that is the IOR for glass. Then I added a Texture Mapping node with Planar projection, and I get some colour variation, which renders differently from CPU to GPU. Kindly note that V-Ray inherits Rhinos Sun - Rhino Document Sun - however it is disabled by default. When I add it to the proxy, It's just black.

Now on bringing them into Houdini via proxy import, I built a simple gradient material that goes from Black-Red-White. I modelled them in Rhino, added planar UVs and a material, everything works fine in Vray for Rhino. It's very simple at the moment, just some basic pipes with a material that goes from a transparent glass to opaque plastic. However, recently I've had a motion design project where I need to vary the material in Houdini. Usually UVs don't matter because the parts are glass, metal, plastic etc. The model looks fine in perspective and camera view, but comes out way too dark once I render it. I'm using a vray physical camera, with the vray sun. Its nothing complex, just some boxes with greebles. I model a lot of things in Rhino, and I've been saving them as Vray proxies and bringing them into Houdini to animate. For the life of me, I can't figure out why my render is so dark. psanitra I think for some projects, you're right the vrscene is definitely the way to go.Ĭhakarov I've used unpacked primitives before, but I didn't change the type to Preview, that's also a really helpful piece of advice. Thanks for that feedback! It's good to know.
