easy rendering for Rhino in Windows

Proxies?

Does NXT have a feature similar to vray proxies? I have several repeating elements in a file that need color and decal changes. It would be much easier if I could update the block instance and have them all switch (black manager only seems to work with geometry and not materials). I dont think that the program allows you to select multiple decals at one time, which would also work for me since it is all the same logo. Any ideas?

Yes. If you create a block out of the objects, then copy that block around, it will be a proxy. Rhino will proxy any block that shows up more then 3 times in the model. We call them "Instances".

We have done models with 20,000 trees or 10,000 seats using this method.
