It's the first time that a new plugin comes out and nobody says thanks or any other comments...
So, thank you for the new Maxwell proxy.... Also thank you for the new export options.


I don't see this as a known issue...
The "motion blur" problem is solved with instances... but it exists with Maxwell proxy objects...
I import a 3d tree, I make a maxwell proxy and I make an array of 20 instances of the proxy... I see nothing when rendering except the initial 3d tree...

Motion blur is still incompatible with instancing in the Maxwell core, so when you turn it on, proxies aren't exported at all. The proxy object is just a plug-in enhancement, it can't work around core limitations.

You will also notice that displacement doesn't work if you use proxy objects. It will be ignored on all the instances, including the original object.

this motionblur, instancing, displacement issue causing objects not to render really needs to be fixed. it's a major problem in pretty much every project I'm doing using maxwell.
