Hi lape,
In what way does it not work?

Do you only see one component instance? Does it give an error message?

I don't get an error, I only the see the component, the dummies I used for instancing just can't be seen.

I know, I should not install a beta when I have to finish a project, but now I reinstalled 3.6.28.3 and get this:

SkIndigo version: 3.6.28.3
SketchUp version: 14.1.1282
Ruby platform: i386-mingw32

any help? :?
Regarding your error, looks like a blend material has an invalid child (material a or material b).

Are you using the _dummy technique?

yes, _dummy!

I did not use a blend material, just used a hdri for environment map + add sun from sketchup. When I try tu use light layers, the error occurs.

Ok. The '_dummy' bit is case sensitive now, so it must be lower case. If you want to send me your scene I can try it out here.

Uploaded new version, uses a different mesh cache directory, which should help prevent bad interactions with previously cached meshes from the 3.6 skindigo series.

...about the instancing problem:

It only works, when the component doesn't contain other components. In my case, it is a hedge, and there are different components for leaves, branches etc. When I explode these components, and only have one major component, the dummies will work. Unfortunately this blows up my filesize.... :cry:

This seems to be an issue with sun + env map with bidir enabled. Just avoid that combination for now.

No, it also doesn't work using path tracing, can't get the sun layer working while environment map is in use! And if you use camera instead of reinhard, everything turns black...

Back to 3.6 ???
