[patro1]

this is a request to support "body objects" geometries to maxtolux

Add support for Body object in v0.8.7916-beta

[patro1]

in v0.8.7916-beta I noticed that I still need to link the body objects because some disappear in the render, not always, not in every scene, for example it doesn't happen with LuxTeaPot
The mapping works only if I add the unwrap UVW to the body objects, otherwise they render without texture.
Maybe the instancing and reference get broken on export. for body objects( i must check this)

[OmidGhotbi]

i need a broken scene so i can investigate the issue, MaxToLux read data from the mesh itself if the object has UV it will support it if it doesn't so it will be rendered with no UV at all.

Hi Omid, I tried to put together few test scenes, all the same, so you may check instancing after exporting, mapping and geometry appaering and dissapaering. just open and hit render.
Every zip contains a max 2021 scene and a text file. Only test instanced body objects.zip contains the maps.
test instanced body objects.zip
test disappaering objects group.zip
test instanced body objects mapping.zip

I'm not getting the problem, they are rendered very normally and perfect.

I check all the files and no problem at all, you just need to remove the black background and that's all, Also it's need just 200MB of memory. 3dsmax + scene 1900MB ram.

did you turn on off the layers as i explained in the text?
as I see texture map is not visible

[OmidGhotbi]

There is no texture available in the zip you send to me.

[patro1]

there are 3 zip... one has the textures

[OmidGhotbi]

For object like that i always save objects and with save selected object to be sure there is no problem with the old scene and the merge it to empty scene or final project that i want to render.

[patro1]

Omid, I did exactly that, to save just the geometries i needed to show you.
Maybe you didn't download the other zip files.

i check with the texture too, it is ok, it was a room for HDRI
