Do not flush a model from RAM between renders. It increases scene parsing speed and memory consumption when enabled.

Pick from sceneThis option allows Allows the creation of a new proxy from an object picked from the current scene.

Duplicate to MeshThis option clones Clones the proxy to a regular mesh object.

Reload from diskThis option reloads Reloads a previously loaded proxy file from a disk.

Visualization method – These options set the viewport visualization method. Available visualization methods are:

Solid bounding box – Using this option

will display

displays the proxy object as a solid box.

Point cloud – Using this option

will display

displays the proxy object as a cloud made out of points.

The Point Cloud visualization method is the recommended solution, as it makes it easy to see the shape of the proxy object while keeping great viewport performance.

Full mesh – Using this option

will display

displays the entire geometry that the proxy object contains as if it wasn't a proxy object.

UI Text Box
typenote

The Full Mesh option should not be used in cases involving complex geometry, as it does not bring any viewport performance improvement compared to displaying the original geometry.

Point cloud displayedThis parameter defines Defines the level of visibility for the Corona Proxy object in a viewport.

UI Text Box

The Point cloud displayed parameter will be is only available when the Visualization method is set to Point cloud.
