How did you manage all that? Just Alt+D?

No

I used DupliVerts

my biggest problem with high polycount scenes is manipulating the scene in Blender. once i get a couple trees in there, Blender becomes very difficult to work with (do i need a better videocard?).

how did you manage all them polygons in Blender?

Force trees and high poly stuff to be drawn in box display(in object panel, F7, draw tab), and move them in layers to hide easily also.

Disable subsurfs for display .

Seems like I've been away for too long to know that DupliVerts also works as instancing.

Again, thank you for your work, SmartDen.

Is there any way to convert particle emited meshes to
instances?
I like them. They don't look like soldiers.

Simply use CTRL+Shift+A

Hi SmartDen,

Just wonder if you released the final version, I downloaded the available version some days ago and I got the same issues, I mean the UV mapping and the problem with the non applied modifications on the instances.

Thanks

Hi SmartDen,

Here is a zip containing the scene limited to this issue, the image produced with blendigo 1.1.7, blendigo 1.1.13 (current available version) and the UV Maping with the alt-z result.

By the way, the current version has solved the aplly modifications problem. What about the function to limit the materials to the selected objects, the version I downloaded about 10 days ago had this feature, did you removed it due to negative feedbacks ? If so, forget it

Also, should I redefine the mesh light materials ?

Thanks again
