Using V-Ray objects: Proxies

“

- [Instructor] In this exercise, we're going to a look at a tool that can amongst other things help us add geometry detail to a scene that would perhaps otherwise be impossible for us to create. This being the V-Ray proxy object. Now the term proxy refers to something or someone that stands in, deputizes for or acts on behalf of something else. In V-Ray terms then, a proxy object is a visually simplified piece of geometry that sits in the scene and acts a stand-in for a much more complex object that would usually be difficult to make use of in SketchUp and V-Ray due to the strain that it would place on system resources. To help us walk through the process of creating a proxy object in V-Ray, we're going to make use of the grapes geometry here. Which whilst not a super complex model in terms of its polygon count, it's nevertheless complex enough to add significantly to the size of this SketchUp scene, and so can help us…
