V-Ray proxy

[KUKLASHA]

How do I make proxy or how to import proxy files? Thanks.

You must select object, that you want to make a proxy, go to mesh menu and click Create proxy in tools menu (on the bottom) with attach mode for example New object (you will see simple mesh object with shape of old object). Blender will create proxy folder in the same destination folder as blend file. Now you can copy proxy model many times, and vray will save your RAM memory. Best way to use proxy is particle system for grass.

To import proxy file, create simple shape object and in the same menu indicate proxy place on your disc. Vray will replace this simple object with proxy model.

Thanks a lot, appreciate !!!

For importing you could also use: 3d viewport menu (Shift+A) -> Mesh -> V-Ray -> V-Ray Proxy

hi guys, i need some help, when i try to import my proxy object, it not comes with its materials, only meshes. so how to include all materials in proxy object?

[bdancer]

Vrmesh files are containing only geometry data.

One more thing - proxy see only last modifier. So when I want to put tiles on the wall with array modifier in two direction, vray see only last array in modifier tree. Can yo fix this bdancer?

[bdancer]

Works fine for me. Make sure both modifiers are enabled for render.

It show how to create proxy but I need to know how to replace simple cube with proxy in Blender.

https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VFBlender/VRayProxy

I can't find in V-ray Blender 2.73 the "Parameters" where in properties I can add to any low poly object I place in scene a proxy I just created.

Create object node and Add > Geometry > VrayPoxy node

It's working. I know to how to add proxy to simple cube. Thank you

I have a small issue when I ma adding proxy like that maybe you know how to fix this. It's about scale and orientation on x, y axis. Added proxy seems to be extremely large and re-orientated -90 degrees on x axis. No difference if I hit crtl+A and apply scale and rotation. Any idea?
