This item lets you save a scene object as an OctaneRender® proxy (Figure 1). A proxy is an object saved as a separate file so you can use it in larger scenes. Mainly used to optimize viewport performance with a low resolution proxy object. Detailed information for working with OctaneRender proxies is in the Octane ProxyAn object saved as a separate file with the purpose of being reused in larger scenes. This is used to minimize any addition to the total polygon count in the scene, especially if the scene requires the same object to appear several times. If used in conjunction with instancing, Proxies help keep very large scenes from reaching polygon limits and also keeps the relative file size of the main project file manageable. topic in this manual.
