Maya - Lighting and Rendering 2 - Stand Ins (Proxies)

 Stand Ins, or Proxies, are an effective way to populate a render without slowing down the render view or the viewport. You can create a Stand in through a Arnold setting which results in a bounding box that represents the volume of your chosen object. You can then duplicate this box to create multiple versions of the same object. 


The viewport only shows the bounding box, which can sometimes hinder the process, for example, if the robot model faced a certain way you wouldn't be able to see where the robot is currently facing. A fix for this is using the viewport draw mode to insert a low res depiction of the object inside the box.
