proxy

There is a way to use proxy objects with Luxcorerender?
I know some work is done but can't find anything in object tab to create them!

Do you mean the Blender feature or something like VRayProxy?

Like to use it for many plants, grass trees.
What will be the best approach with existing functions in luxcorerender?

Dupli groups for instancing, and limit draw type to box for better viewport performance. Basically the same as what you'd do for Cycles.

I hope that at some point actual proxies will be possible, cause it allows to load only small parts in the scene. This way you could have super heavy scenes that don't actually have a single big object in them, so you can quickly open huge scenes that take very little ram with blender and only load for rendering.

Vrayproxy are not just useful for preview but it's useful rendertime cause proxies are loaded or unloaded when buckets need them for rendering.

I dont' remember if this is avaiable just for bucket mode or both for progressive mode.
