[solved] Preview Proxy Mesh

[PastaJackal]

Hi, not sure if this should be a feature request or whether there is a workaround or not.

I'm working with Quixel Megascan objects and need to have a quick and visually responsive way to bash objects together but to also use proxies to keep scene file sizes down and optimised. I can use the Substitute modifier to replace the high poly mesh with a lower LOD mesh but this doesn't seem to work for proxies. Is there another way or can something like the preview proxy mesh in Vray be implemented?

Thank you!

Try putting an Edit Mesh modifier on the proxy object first to convert it to 'live' geo. I need to do this whenever I want to use an Unwrap modifier on a proxy object.

definitely need a similar proxy option like vray. Not sure why this never been requested before.I definitely missed Vray Proxy versatility.
