Day 58



Making proxy boxes scale correctly























I am reworking on the proxy preview, making sure the enable proxy and enable renders are functioning. The proxy boxes of rock objects were not accurate as i was still feeding in the "Object_Merge SOP" instead of the "File SOP" with stamp function.

Now we have the proxy boxes have the same proportion as the exact rock_object.bgeo being instanced to the same point.



Troubleshoot Green Render Toggle













Instead of allowing "Enable Proxy" display toggle to enable/disable it's render altogether, it was decided that a separate toggle to avoid confusion. With the UI and switch node created, everything was working fine except for GREEN.

I checked the network, green/red/yellow/blue were connected in the same manner.
Looked at Switch Input channels and Edit interface's input, there were no spelling errors.
Mr Ron took a look and tried copy/paste relative reference onto "GREENMATERIAL" switch, it worked. But mysteriously it stopped working after i carried on working on it a bit more..... it was pretty frustrating and i decided to leave it alone for awhile...

Finally was the problem, the "Material SOP" above the "GREENMATERIAL" switch was being fed into the "Merge SOP" where our "Render Flag" activated as shown in the screen-capture above. Everything is now officially functioning the way it should!
