Modifier Proxies:

• Adjust modifier settings for viewport and render.
• Disable modifiers in the viewport for better performance.

Manual Proxies:

• Duplicate objects and simplify geometry.
• Use the Decimate modifier or Convex Hull operation.
• Apply modifiers to reduce computational load.

Instancing with Proxies:

• Utilize collections for consistent proxy application.
• Instance objects to maintain proxy settings across duplicates.

Discover how to streamline your workflow and improve performance with these practical techniques.
