How to Optimize your Textures for Viewport Performance and Fast Rendering
Proxy Textures is a plugin for 3dsMax that automatically generates low resolution versions of your textures, to help you work faster on scenes with heavy loads.
The plugin temporarily shrinks your textures, resulting in less memory usage and better viewport performance.
You can configure it to only use the original textures at render time, to save time. You can also use it to shrink oversized textures, like the ones that are far from camera, to speed up your renders.
If you need to make small render previews or tests, you can easily downscale and optimize all textures accordingly, to boost your renders.
Proxy Textures allows you to convert multiple texture files to JPG/PNG formats. You can choose either to process all bitmaps in scene at once, or to work only with the materials in selected objects.
This tool is very easy to use and really powerful! Smartly optimize your complex scenes, with lots of high resolution textures, and make them lightweight and easy to manipulate.
