instance to object revisited 2003-12-09 - By Aleksandar Stiglic
Back
I was planning to put this one on highend3d, but it's not having all
the options particle instances have (rotation, aim etc.)
which I plan implementing, but it's not finished yet.
Also It wouldnt refresh, so all in all not so user friendly,
more of a baking once you are finished...
If that can help I can send it...
