Corona Proxy

The Corona Proxy is Chaos Corona's own proxy solution, helpful in decreasing the number of polygons in the scene and thereby simplifying meshes for the viewport to keep scenes manageable and to bake objects with animation to keep playback at a reasonable frame rate.

Proxy file – This slot allows the loading of a previously saved object as Corona Proxy. To load a proxy file, use the ellipsis ( ... ) button right next to the empty slot.

Keep in memory – When this option is enabled, and the visualization method is set to Full Mesh, the model is always loaded into RAM, and this control is ignored.

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

Duplicate to Mesh – This option clones the proxy to a regular mesh object.

Reload from disk – This option reloads a previously loaded proxy file from a disk.

Units – Use this parameter to set a specific measurement unit for the proxy object. Depending on the selected unit, the object's size will be affected.

Visualization method – These options set the viewport visualization method.

Available visualization methods are:

• Solid bounding box – Using this option will display the proxy object as a solid box.
• Wire bounding box – Using this option will display the proxy object as a wire box.

• Point cloud – Using this option will display 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 the entire geometry that the proxy object contains as if it wasn't a proxy object.

  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 displayed – This parameter defines the level of visibility for the Corona Proxy object in a viewport.

Enable animation – When enabled and if there's animation data included in the proxy file, then the object's animation will start playing.

Mode – These options allow you to select the animation playback method.

Frame offset – This parameter will offset the animation starting point for the Corona Proxy object.

Speed multiplier – This value will speed up or slow down the animation playback for the Corona Proxy object.
