"clusterThis" mantra geometry procedural

Description:

The clusterThis mantra geometry instancing procedural DSO/OTL will instance geometry and volumes to incoming points and will process the point attributes in a number of ways for the instanced geometry and volumes. Delays geomtery instantiation until render time thus, reduces size of IFD file and network bandwidth, allows access to render time data, add additional detail to scene.

Features:
Instance primitives at render time (sphere, cube, grid, tube, circle, curve, metaball, volume)
Instance disk file (and apply CVEX deformation and attibute processing)
Attribute driven instancing
Motion blur
CVEX processing of instanced geometry
Cache file stores data when generating deep shadow maps to optimize instancing.
