Hello everyone , i would really appreciate if you could help me out, i've been in a constant battle with mental ray for about two days, first it said that it was low on memory and aborted, then it just wouldn't render anything, and then, when i finally thought i made it, i discovered that single frame render worked just fine, but batch render won't render my instances, which are like half of everything.

My file is composed of about 9 files, which are referenced within the main one, the problem is i have many instances, i needed them for all the tiny decorations.

Is there an option i can activate to tell mental ray to respect instances? or will i have to convert them all to lovely lovely objects?

Please help
