"Yes. If you create a block out of the objects, then copy that block around, it will be a proxy. Rhino will proxy any block that shows up more then 3 times in the model."

Does NXT have a feature similar to vray proxies? I have several repeating elements in a file that need color and decal changes. It would be much easier if I could update the block instance and have them all switch (black manager only seems to work with geometry and not materials). I dont think that the program allows you to select multiple decals at one time, which would also work for me since it is all the same logo. Any ideas?See More

Scott Davidson replied to Jon's discussion unwrap tool"Yes, the unwrap tool should work, but there are some other setups you may need to do.
Go to object properties.
Select the object
Pick on the Flamingo properties button
In the mapping drop down select Surface
Now when you render it should show the…"

I am trying to get a handle on using the unwtrap tool in rhino 5, but something seems to be wrong. After getting my parts to line up in the UVeditor, the decal appears on the parent parts perfectly. When I hit 'apply', it renders out as though nothing was there. Am I missing a step? In the properties menu it appears as map channel 1 and custom mapping. However when I assign a material it still has the odd seams that I was hoping to avoid. Any ideas?See More
Scott Davidson replied to Jon's discussion Material creation error"I think we figured this one out. The problem is not Rhino, it is Flamingo. We have a fix coming, we hope next week.
The problem is when use the Copy and paste from the clipboard or the Import command. Once you do this, any…"

My computer started doing this a week ago, and a co-workers just started doing it yesterday. When making a materiel and saving it, it appears fine as an icon in control panel. Then going in to edit it, it is a duplicate of an existing material and does not have the properties that I originally applied. In order to make a new material, I have to save, close and reopen the model. I have to do this for every material i make. We are using rhino 4, nxt build 3.1.2012.326 (26-mar-2012). Has…See More
Jon replied to Michiel's discussion VRAY materials from flying architecture"The materials on Flying arch are for a completely different rendering program called Vray. The vismat files will not open in NXT. However, you will get great quality image maps included in the file if it has them. You can then take…"
Scott Davidson replied to Jon's discussion Purchasing NXT and Bit versions"Flamingo includes both 32 and 64 bit versions. You can run it on Rhino V4 and V5 on your machine. Currently all materials and rendering information are shared between the two."

I am submitting a request to my company to purchase a seat of NXT. Most of the work that we do is in rhino 4 32 bit. However, sometimes we will have to use a large file that 32 bit will not support so I have to switch to Rhino 5 and 64 bit NXT. Will we be limited to either 32 bit or 64 when purchasing, or does it include both?See More

I loaded up a bunch of files to the farm and am composting them together through the editor. The file has a lot of open space at the top. When I put the first together, everything goes well. The second file gets a large black section at the top. The third file the black box moves down to the bottom. Any idea why this is happening? I've attached the images from the first and second run.Also, I am getting a runtime error when trying to composite a large area (3000 x 4000 roughly). Any idea…See More
Scott Davidson replied to Jon's discussion duplicate/editing textures"Have you tried the most recent build. We have added some tools to fix this problem. Are you in Rhino 4 or Rhino 5?"
Scott Davidson replied to Jon's discussion texture mapping"In Object properties there is a Flamingo panel. There, is a Mapping drop down there you can use. The standard mapping widgets in Rhino 5 do not work yet for NXT."
