convert vray proxy back to max mesh ?

[3dfabrique]

Hi all

Does anyone know how to convert a vray proxy in Max back to its original max mesh state ? I've got some proxies, but I don't have the original files.

any insight ?

dont think you can, but i may be wrong

No, you can't.
BTW, there's a special section for VRay in our forum. Try using that next time, ok?

there is a script that does convert them back..... check out this thread on vray's forums.

EDIT: I had posted on this awhile ago and it looks the link on the chao's site doesn't work anymore, may have to do with when they redid their forums... anyhoo, check out my post on this thread instead....

I saw that a while ago, but never got it to work...

I had the script to work in max 7. So I loaded the proxy only in max 7, saved it, and then open the file in max 9 or 2008. It ain't perfect, but that is a workaround...
