Re: Mental Ray Proxies.
I don't have time to check how the materials work, but with Vray proxies don't retain the materials either. They did keep the materials once the were creatred in a scene. I typically kept a master file of proxied trees, that had the materials applied to them. Then when I needed a tree, I simply merged the proxy in from that file, rather than reinsert a proxy, then find the matching material.
