problem with render instances...

Jeremy,

I have a problem with render instances.
I don't know if this has something to do with Vista or the latest Maxwell update, but at the moment I cannot use render instances.
As soon as I use render instances Maxwell crashes instead of doing the voxelization.

using a cube and an instance - rendering fine.
using a cube and a render instance - maxwell crashes.

What if you put a material on the cube? I find problems in the 2.0.3 update with instances when (a) there is no material on the source, or (b) the source is a multi-material object.

with a material the problem is solved.

will you change this behaviour in future?

Not in the plugin, no -- the problem is in the 2.0.3 engine.

It was not changed on purpose -- it'll be fixed in the next engine update.
