This page introduces features for creating and modifying geometry objects in V-Ray for 3ds Max.

UI Text Box
typeinfo

In V-Ray 6, VRayClipper, VRayDecal, and VRayProxy use QT for their GUI in 3ds Max versions 2019 and later. This means they will follow 3ds Max’s logic for RMB actions on the spinners. RMB will reset the values to minimum and Ctrl+right-click will set the values to their default.

CardPageLinkVRayProxy

Proxy Objects

Allows an external mesh to be imported at render time only. Since the proxy object's geometry isn't present in the scene, it doesn't take up resources and allows the rendering of meshes with triangle counts higher than 3ds Max itself can handle.
