- VRayInstancer uses the materials assigned to the instanced geometry, unless a material is specified in the Particle Flow system. In that case the particles' material is applied. This feature is not yet available with V-Ray GPU.
- With V-Ray 6, update 1, instanced lights by VRayInstancer, Forest Pack, Rail Clone, etc. are part of the Light Select RE of the respective source light.
- VRayInstancer uses Particle input from thinkingParticles only when the particle system is set to the **Render Instance** approach.
