wish : use 3dm file for proxy objects

Hello Paul,

It would be really nice if we could use rhino files instead of obj. files, these could also incorporate the correct octane materials...

Is this possible ?

Hi Andreas

Unfortunately I think this would be very difficult. You really need to load the 3dm, open the Viewport, and export as ORBX, then use the ORBX as the proxy. If you have a need to convert a lot 3dm's to ORBX format, there may be ways to streamline this process.

sounds interesting...

I will also try out the ORBX approach... at least this way I get a file with correct octane material definitions right?
