And even though the leap to using computers that can boast huge amounts of RAM has made things somewhat easier these days, there may still at times be a need for us to employ some very specific tools in order to get a high polycount job finished. The V-Ray Proxy being one of the options available. Now, at this moment in time, I am clearly not working with anything like a truly high polycount scene, as my Viewport stats show that we have a current total of just over one and a half million polys, most of which are coming from the hair mesh that we see here.
