Hi Tyson, thanks for the reply.
have resolved it by exporting the particles in two passes, one for each shape. works fine..
id rather not use tycache since:
a) i need sub frame motion blur... as per my other post it seems broken, and with keyframed objects, it just works.
b) i need to assign a different material to the particles after they change shape, and have a multmatte just for those particles.. again, as per another thread it doesnt seem to be playing well. probably user error but im on a really squeezy deadline. objects its obviously no problem.
c) i have 5-6 rogue particles the client doesnt like. exported as objects, i can just select and delete any i dont like without complex fiddling.
d) i can render at any farm, including vray cloud, with no extra plugins or potential issues..
however the lack of instancing in the exported objects is a killer for filesize and rendering ram usage. is it possible to enable instancing for object export?
many thanks for your plugin, it impresses me every day.
