Any luck with proxies?

Hi,

Tried out a few proxies, there are some available at chaos group, in their Quick Start guides either for Sketchup or Rhino like:

 

https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAYSKETCHUP/Environmental+Lighting+and+Aerial+Perspective+QuickStart

 

I downloaded the scene files with their proxies, but all the trees are rendered in a single color, even in scene view there are different colors on the detail proxy!

After editing first material at proxie it even went to complete black!

 

Cheers

Michael

And it seemed that when i set preview of proxy to detailed it embed geometry in .fmz file, which gets huge, but not in normal preview state!

So proxies need some refinement to get them working!

Edit:

Even in normal RenderZone mode VRay doesn´t care about intensity(Helligkeit) settings of the sun!

Edit:

Oh, now switching FormZ-sun to Vray seemed to changed the appearance of the image! Strange, didn´t work yesterday! So -> intensity is working(now)(for a FormZ sun converted to Vray)

 

But after inserting Vray-sun to scene with same orientation, and deactivating all the other lights, I cannot modify Vray-sun´s intensity (always same appearance!)!
