Instancing hierachy not working?

Is it a known issue that Octane does not render the hierarchy of an instanced item?
You know, when 'instance hierarchy' is on in the Lw instance panel? At least with me, it doesn't.

Hmm, I'm not sure if this feature works in Octane. I've not seen anything about hierarchies in the LightWave SDK instancing API, but perhaps it is handled automatically. No one is able to render this kind of instancing?

Thanks,

Mine works (always has), I had many cars and trees which have hierarchy (several layers parented to main layer) in my scenes.

So must be something specific in your workflow/setup so we need more info to see what could it be.

Yes please, if you can share an example scene (as simple as possible) with this issue I could take a look at it here.

Thanks,

Hi,
maybe because you moved the pivot point? It happened to me only one time because usually I don't move the pivot, so I didn't care and I didn't lost more time, simply I resolved copyng the object, but maybe this is your problem. Need some tests.

Most likely the error lies in the render settings - you need to disable Instance LW clones and Instance -(name) Nulls in Octane Render Target tab.
