166 Chapter 4 Using Proxies
• proxyNDefaultBytes: The bit depth for pre-rendered proxies. This has no effect with
on-the-fly proxies.
• proxyNDefaultAlwaysAdd: When enabled, this proxy set is added to a FileIn node
when created.
• proxyNDefaultReplace: See baseDefaultReplace.
textureProxy
The proxy level at which texture-rendered images that are used by the MultiPlane’s
hardware-rendering mode are displayed in the Viewer. This is similar to the
interactiveScale setting, in that the proxy level that’s set here is used to generate on-
the-fly Viewer images.
interactiveScale
Sets a temporary proxy setting that is active only when modifying a parameter. Fully
compatible with the other proxy methods.
FileIn
Each FileIn node also contains parameters for defining proxy usage.
BaseFile
The original, high-resolution image sequence or movie file associated with this node.
Opening this subtree reveals one additional parameter:
• baseFileType: Tells Shake what the format is if the file suffix is ambiguous. Generally,
you do not need to set this, as “Auto” automatically detects the format. If you have a
problem reading an image, try setting the format to correct this.
ProxyXFile
The directory for pre-generated proxies. This is ignored for on-the-fly proxies.
• proxyNScale: The scaling factor for that proxy set.
• proxyNRatio: The Y scaling factor for that proxy set, used for anamorphic files.
• proxyNFileType: The file type for pre-generated proxies, ignored for on-the-fly proxies.
