Great job Janusz, really impressive and I can't wait to put my dirty hands on the new update of Kray :D

Anyway just a question: if it has been possibile to make Kray see LW instances, why it is not possible to make it see Fiber FX? I mean, for a wonderful green or a carpet, maybe it would be more useful Fiber FX than Lw Istances...

Imho is nonsense make it in Kray. LW11 Instance is so perfect tool...so Kray use it now in beta release.
Those are really bad news. That means it will kill Kray for those of us that we still use LW 10. :x

And LW 11 instance tool is not so perfect, you need only to read a bit of the problems people is having with it on the NT forums! :| :evil:

Problems? Well - it's a new tool, so there are a few (minor) bugs that need to be ironed out; and it doesn't do EVERYTHING, so there have obviously been feature requests. But overall? It's a fantastic implementation, far superior to HDInstance (which was pretty damn good to begin with!) and to Kray's own system, which from my tests is admittedly faster but lacks the extraordinary amount of control you get in Lightwave's version. Frankly I would have been worried if Kray had not been upgraded to work with native instancing, the preview alone makes quite the difference... it's the right choice imho.

In fact... maybe LW instances rendered within Kray will be faster than the native engine! Ha, that'd be fantastic.

was around 10-15 min (are complex geometry with small details so phase of AA are long). Btw instances from Lw or Kray doesn't affect speed - this is just cloning, matter are geometry and engine render.

Looks quite crazy but I like control by texture.

Awesome! Cool thing is we can see them wireframe and even with VPR!
Plus NT just released a LW11 sp1 with instancing fixes.
DP Instance can plug on LW instances. So is it possible to control Kray instances with DP plugin?

To be completely honest they did answer, but it didn't help any. So now we are waiting for a better answer.
