Octane Proxy and Scattering


Figure 1: City scene Render using 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. for scattering objects.

Geometry proxies are where an ArchiCAD scene element is used as a placeholder (or ‘host object’) for an external OBJ file. Using Octane Proxy can be useful of being reused in larger scenes and also be used for scattering an object.
