Hey Paul,

is it possible to use proxy files within a replicator? When i try to scatter the proxy Mesh nothing happens.

PS: It's definitly possible in Standalone i just have to plug the generated Nodegraph to the Scatter Node

Edit: I found a workaround: I make a proxy file with a replicator inside. Works but would be a lot easier if we could use the replicator directly.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi - you are right - Proxy ORBX file support does not currently work in a Replicator, and you need to do it in reverse (ie. have the scatter node inside the ORBX proxy).

Hey Paul,

any News about this? Will it be possible to replicate proxys or even instance them? I have some heavy meshes and it's so nice to put them in proxys. But i have to duplicate them over and over again and so i have to decide between multiple proxys or some heavy meshes in my scene.

Thank you in advance!

Hi. Once I get a solid 2018.1 release done I will take a look at this, as it should be reasonably easy to implement. If you haven't seen it in the plugin in the next month, pls give me another prod about it.
