DP Instance - Or any other instance support?

Hi Juan,

As you know .. Lightwave instancing does not support Time Offset .. neither for bone animations not for MDDs . So it is not useful any big archviz or any other humanoid big scale instancing projects.

Is there a way to connect DP Instance to Octane ? Or did anybody try this ? AFAIK DP instance supports time offset feature which is a must have ..

I cannot believe NT still did not address this issue!

DP Instance works with the Octane plugin, but there is an issue with the motion blur, that currently is not supported. I think that the problem is in the DP instance code, so perhaps Denis could fix it.

dear Juan,

Is there any special button to check to see instances in Octane ?

I see it in VPR but not in Octane .. ( i was trying with 11.6.3 - dp instance x32 -- ok ok soon i will update layout to 64 bit :)) )

Ahh do not bother ..

DP Instance (the legacy one) has the DPM file format .. for time offset effect .. it has its own Volumetric rendering engine .. possibly will not be seen by octane..

DP Instancer works like Native Instancer .. and this is a DEAD END.

What a shame on Lightwave Instancing system..
