Render Proxies look glitchy, please help!

[georgep1]

Hi, I am trying to render a scene with numerous proxies.  I create my proxy geometry and export it as an mi file, then assign the mi file to my dummy polygon, but when i render the scene, the proxies come out fragmented and glitchy looking.  For example:  only a small fragment of each proxy will render.  What is going wrong?  how can i fix this?

What is going wrong?

Wild guess... the bounding box clips the proxy.

but doesnt the bounding box get resized to fit the proxy?  what can i do to fix this?

Is it possible that my scene is somehow corrupted and wont correctly do proxies?  Not only does it look like the proxy is being clipped by some illegitimate bounding box, but the fragments also render as pure black.  I cant get any proxies to work in this scene, but if I open a new scene and follow the exact same procedure, it works fine.  Any Ideas?  any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

There is some scale issue with my scene.  I exported all of the geometry into a new scene and the proxy thing works, but when I imported it into the new scene, everything is about 13 times larger.  I dont really want everything to be this big because im worried there will be problems when i go to render the scene.  If I scale everything back down to what I want, I get more proxy issues.  Any adeas?

Any adeas?

have you changed the global unit from cm to something else? This usually kills maya outright. And is only suggested for people who actually like to suffer horrible pains in their everyday life.

Hi, did you ever figure out your render proxy problem?  I'm having the same problem in Maya 2015.  Only 1/4 of my object is rendering.

Thanks
