Creating a proxy container
With so many new additions to the scene, you may notice the interactive
performance slowing down. You can speed up your scene by using proxy
containers.
A proxy is an object that stands in a scene for another, more complex object.
Proxy objects allow you to quickly switch between complex and simple
representations of an object in your scene. They are useful for temporarily
reducing the complexity of the scene as you work with it.
To export a proxy container
1 In the scene view, select the fires fluid container.
Since container-centric selection is on, this selects the fires container.
2 Select File > Export Proxy Container.
A file browser appears.
3 Navigate to Getting Started/Assets and type the name flame_proxy.mb.
4 Click Export.
Maya creates a proxy file.
Now you can load the proxy to represent the container.
