point instancing

[sekow]

hey

when using point instancing, the source transform should not be applied to the instance.
furthermore we need some way to hide that source, as for now we need to have it visible in the render for it to be visible as instance.

You have an option in the Octane OBJ spare parameters to hide any object from the renderer, while it can be used for instancing.

I will add also an option to disable the OBJ transformation matrix, to support your request about the source transform that should not be applied to the instance.

Thanks,
