Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library for automating proxy creation across a wide Blender range, from 3.3 through 4.5, on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What is Ocp "1-Click Proxy" Clone Your Exact Mesh With A Low Poly Proxy?

OCP "1-Click Proxy" is a Blender add-on for automating proxy creation. With one click, it replaces high-poly objects with lightweight proxies, boosting viewport performance while your original models and materials stay intact. The Auto Scan + Face Count Logic finds the highest-poly objects and swaps them for clean proxy objects using thresholds you can customize.

You choose how proxies are generated: category presets that auto-load, Bounding Box, Convex Hull, or a custom proxy you apply to every object at once. Smart Material Transfer carries your materials across, keeping the test-render look even on Convex Hulls or custom geometry. Global controls apply or remove proxies across all selected objects, and you can toggle between high-res and proxy views. A Batch Decimation Panel reduces geometry across multiple objects with visual feedback and thresholds.

Proxies never appear in final renders, so output always uses your original models. The add-on lives in the 3D View N-panel with buttons for adding, deleting, and customizing proxies, live feedback, and an auto-save option that applies proxies before Blender closes. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and ships with a demo video, screenshots, and documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Does OCP "1-Click Proxy" run on the Blender version I use?

OCP "1-Click Proxy" lists compatibility with Blender 4.5, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, and the 3.6 to 3.3 range, covering both recent releases and older builds still in use. It also runs across Windows, macOS, and Linux, so the add-on is not tied to a single operating system. If you are on one of these listed versions, you can install it and access it through the N-panel. For any Blender version outside this range, check the developer's page before installing to confirm current support.

How do I install OCP "1-Click Proxy" in Blender?

OCP "1-Click Proxy" installs through Blender's extensions system. Open Edit → Preferences → Extensions → Install from Zip, then select the downloaded file. Once installed, OCP appears in the N-panel of the 3D View, where you access its buttons for adding, deleting, and customizing proxies.

The add-on runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so the same install path applies regardless of your operating system.

Will OCP proxies show up in my final renders?

OCP "1-Click Proxy" keeps proxies out of the final image, so your renders always show the original models and never the proxy objects. The proxies exist to lighten the viewport, replacing high-poly objects with lightweight stand-ins while your source geometry and materials stay intact. You can toggle between high-res and proxy views, and apply or remove proxies across all selected objects with one button. Smart Material Transfer also carries your materials onto proxies, so the test-render look is maintained even when using Convex Hulls or custom geometry.

Is OCP "1-Click Proxy" free to download?

OCP "1-Click Proxy" is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change, though, so it is worth checking the developer's page on Superhive for the current details before you rely on it in production.

At the time of listing it carries a five-star rating from two reviews.
