Exclude Proxy from GI? Doesnt work?

[Morne]

Hi all

I have a LOT of proxies which is slowing my LC to a crawl. If I hide them, LC goes normal. Right-Click > VRayProperties > Untick Visible to GI doesnt seem to be doing anything, LC still slow.

So how can I exclude the proxies form GI? I'll stick in an VRayAmbientLight just for the proxies, but need to exclude from GI before any further tests

Whats even more weird, it's only a VRayplane, proxies, HDRI dome light and vraycam. If I do a region at the bottom left of the screen, nowhere near ANY proxies, it also takes forever. Hide proxies and it does same region including GI and render in less than a second?!?

How are the proxies placed? I mean do you use forestpack or something? Have you tried it with a mesh instead of a proxy?

Found the issue. They were copied.

When instanced, LC took few seconds

Glad to hear you sorted it out.

FYI, for the next service pack, V-Ray will automatically instance the geometry for proxies that point to the same .vrmesh file, even if they are separate copied objects in 3ds Max.
