I've created orbx proxy, when I import it with an orbx sop it's ok, but is there a way to use orbx proxy in instances SOP ?

Thanks

No at the SOP level yet. You need to instance the proxy OBJ node from another OBJ node, for example, using the Instance OBJ or adding the "instance" point attribute pointing to proxy object.

I've tried, I load an orbx in a geo node, I load the orbx in another geo node with an object merge and put this last geo node in instance object, the first ersult is boxes and when I change display mode to point nothing ?

Here is my hip file

Thanks

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand your workflow. Can you please attach the hip file compressed as a .zip?

Thanks,

This is not going to work. You need to instance directly the OBJ node that contains the proxy SOP.

Weird, with my proxies the scene seems to work fine. Can you please attach your .orbx file? Perhaps there is something on it that makes the instancing not possible.

Thanks,

Ok. To instance this proxy you need to clean the scene node tree in the Standalone, as you can see in the attached image. The full node tree including a render target is not compatible with the Octane instancing.

Hope it helps,
