Kray instance problem in LW10

I'm not sure what wrong with my LW or Kray. Nothing happened after rendering, no instances appeared. Any one know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

It is only one scene or in every scenes?

All the scenes. I've more than 10 camera/scene and all of it not show the instances I made. Anyway it's Kray instance support more than 100,000 polygon per object? I'm not sure that if the objects I want to clone got problem or anything else.

I think You have broken Kray files, and is no limits for instances with big amount of polygons. Try reinstall all Kray files or Lightwave.

I don't think so the Kray is broken because I was trying open the previous project and it's working.

Can you make basic scene with this problem (can by empty with basic models, but still with this problem), and share it.?

what do you meant basic model? just make a planar for ground, points and object to clone (tree)?

Does not matter. Can by cloned Cube in empty space. If You say - totally not work in new scenes...is just matter check it in another Lightwave and computer. Maybe your new Lightwave (which maybe is broken or is bug in Kray) write something wrong in lws and after that Kray not correct render instances. You sad old scenes works, so old Lightwave lws is ok.

Finally found the problems. The points problem, I'm not sure what wrong with the points but I re-points again and it's work. But I have problem with the material on the surface when made the instancing.

Here I attached the image for your reference. Also this is not the final but almost 80% finish. I want to make the animation soon, so do you have any idea for the setting with this? This rendered took almost half an hour.

Thanks.

...just uncheck USE COLOR in instance plugin (I see one kind tree with this problem).
I suspected bad setup for points, but I have no idea why LW10 made it....

OK, this is the latest clay-render in kray. I've a problem for the render time. In clay render it just took about 5-6 minutes but when I tried to render in RGB it took more than 8 days. It ridiculous :shock: . Any idea guys.

Can be 1000 reasons of that. Do you have Kray surface shader with QMC (Uncache 100/0) on the leafs?

ok. So next, check setup of leafs (maybe you have transparency?...this can kill time render) or you have Node setup with something not supported by Kray...

OK, i was double check and leafs are fine. No transparency. Yes, I've a node setup on the building but just only a few objects.

How about the Kray setting?
