I am having troubles exporting replicator items. If I hide and unhide replicated item I can see it in Fire, but nothing appears in final render.
Any clue ?

The replicator particles are instances under Maxwell.

It seems in case the original objects is hidden, Maxwell doesn't show the instances in this case.

Thanks for reply on.
As you can see on my video it works opposite to what you said - when it's hidden it shows up, but in any way I can not make it visible in the final render.

Have you tried to turn on the visibility of the prototype item in modo (before export)?

Have you tried with the beta version of the plugin? (In case not I recommend you to try it. It fixes other issues too.)

Yes I tried to export it with Prototype hidden and visible, with latest stable version and now with beta too.
Now I tried to open it in Studio. It doesn't work neither, but it looks very strange as you can see (on left window replicator instances are visible but not in Fire):

Hello,

Inside the mxs file the Fern object is hidden. If I start fire I can't see the replicated objects.

But in case I set Fern to visible, the instanced (replicated) objects are visible in Maxwell too.

Isn't it the same at you?

Yes it is but only in Fire, but when I press Render in Maxwell Render it doesn't render instances, although they are visible in Fire.

When FIRE is running, and your Fern object is hidden, switching it on and off again makes it visible. (On makes it visible and Off doesn't change the visibility)

But in case you restart FIRE it is hidden again.

On my machine if I start the Maxwell Render when Fern is visible, the instances are visible too.

(I am using the latest beta from Maxwell render)
