Q: How to make objects not INSTANCED?

[svenip]

export the scene to a maya file. voila

or just duplicate the objects. but be aware of incoming or outgoin connections of the originals

thanks. I just don´t understand how will exporting scene to maya file help. It seems like it´s the same as save the scene to another file...

duplicate method is not good for me, because there are about 200 stones already animated. So I would have to parent or pointConstraint stone to stone 200 times...

export it. it will destroy the instance thing. this is because the export doesn't include instancing

I´ll try it Buzz Rocketeer!! :p

:) ok, I translated "Baz Raketak" from czech, but it was lightyear, you´re right!

Back to instances: I selected the stones, then Exported Selected to *.mb file. Opened it, but they were still instanced. Tell me exactly, how you do it.

hmm interesting question ... i m interessted in a good answer too :) had this problems also sometimes

[syntetik]

you don´t have to try too much, I have already solved it another way. I´ve changed depth shadows into raytraced with little angle, and problem with shadow is gone.
But it can come in handy for future...
