      I would say the answer is yes. Take a look at the work by David H that appears in these forums. Definitely possible.

        The last image is Sketchup & Vray (for max). It's by Peter Guthrie http://www.peterguthrie.net/blog/

              I say yes.

              But NOT Vray for SU as SU has a poly limit, however with Thea, Maxwell and Indigo no problem,and possibly even better.

                Is Thea using a proxy system similar to Indigo's? Thea has it's own standalone program like Maxwell doesn't it? Is it referencing .skp's or Thea format files?

                  I do not know what proxy system Indigo is using. In thea (if you chose so), your components are exporte as proxies. Currently the advantage is mainly rendering speed (afaik). There is a possibility maybe in the future to have low poly proxies in SU and swap them to high poly proxies in Thea (at least this is what I am reading over there). This would involve the exporter plugin more than Thea core I think however.

                  Thea IS a standalone (although integration has already started - for the time being, into C4D). It cannot refer to skp files but as said above, the development is not even there yet. But I think there won't even need to be such a proxy system there. It is impressive how Thea can handle billions ❗ of polygons! In fact, her older sister, Kerkythea can handle them, too.

                    I would argue that for still images, you don't need billions of polygons as long as you have good post-processing workflow. It's just textures after all. Look at DavidH's post-processing threads for starters.

                      Gotcha, what I mean by proxy is more like what you mentioned regarding low poly geometry referencing high poly geometry. Currently within Maxwell and Indigo you can bring in a high poly chair, for example, name the component 'chair' and then create a low poly version 'chair_proxy' and move your 'chair' to a hidden layer. At render time, 'chair' is substituted for 'chair_proxy'. So the high poly chair is still in your file (large file sizes, slow save times, and all), but you can place it and view it via the low poly version. The next step which Indigo has (so I hear) already taken and which Maxwell is working on is to use an external file for a proxy so you don't bloat your .skp file which can alone be crippling. Indigo uses external .skp files so the object still has to be able to fit in a .skp file. Maxwell will reference it's .mxs files which will be one big step beyond that.

                        At the moment there is no external referencing in Thea, but in my understanding implementation is more a matter of time. Best workflow at the moment in Thea is to drop some high poly Thea model directly from Thea model library into viewport. Thea can handle fairly extreme poly-counts πŸ˜„ and naturally Thea has a instancing system that takes some burden away.

                          since your question was is it possibly with su/vray/ps... my answer is yes definitely. but if you are saying plan su and he vray su with proxy.. i must say maybe soon...

                              Below the text area when you are typing your post there is an "attachment" tab. The + sign does not work so select a file then add... and then select another one to add...
