For example, if we could find a way of connecting modeled proxies between VRay for Rhino and VRay for 3ds Max, we would have a lot more control and flexibility in our vis work. We realize this ability in VRay for Rhino is brand new, but would like to see more features in future versions. This enables more robust digital models without the lag. A modular system, ranging anywhere from a spider joint to the Cleveland Med Mart panels, can be navigated and edited much more quickly by using proxies as placeholders. While proxy scattering is a powerful tool for creating forests and soup can sculptures, it can also be implemented for visualization of architectural components. Although not quite as fast as 3ds Max, the proxies worked pretty well when scattering a forest with millions of polygons: Our second test focused on testing the strength of the tool, so we applied it to a scene with unusually high polygon counts. We put together a Canstruction generator (for a possible future installation) and tested the proxy scatter at varying densities: The first test with the tool was a scatter of the classic Campbell’s soup can. The scattering process (executed with Rhinoscript) is slower than Forest Pack but by keeping the tool within the grasshopper interface, we are able to control proxy parameters while applying them to complex surfaces. Like Forest Pack, our Python script offers proxy translation, scaling (1D/2D/3D), rotation, and jitter. The component we’ve put together is similar to Forest Pack, a powerful 3ds Max plugin by iToo software. This results in a significantly improved user experience as well as increased speed and complexity of renderings.
It’s linked to this mesh geometry, which is imported only at render time. In short, a proxy is a crude representation of a complex mesh geometry within modeling space. We’ve enjoyed taking a look at the new version of VRay for Rhino and are especially excited about the addition of VRay proxies.
