instance to object revisited 2003-12-09 - By brettkeyes@(protected)

The reason I want to use instanced geometry to particles is because i
can get the geometry to align with the particles velocity. If i can
then 'bake out' that geometry, that would be great! Will your script
will allow me to do this?, I would be very happy...if not, I guess Ill
have to write my own.
If you can send that script to:
'brett@(protected)'
I would greatly appreciate it!
thnx.
