Exception when exporting object instances

Hi,
I encountered a problem exporting to .osm when my scene contains an instances of an object with no assigned material.

1. create a Box01
2. create instance of Box01
3. export to osm



== Exporting Objects ==

Exporting Object: Box01

Object has 1 texture sets

Compiling material Box01_mesh_material

Edge List created

 Mesh: Box01_mesh.... done 

Exporting Object: Box02



Unhandled Exception while processing Box02



== Exporting Materials ==

 Box01_mesh_material

1 material(s) exported to 1_6_test.material

after assigning a material to Box01 the exception is not thrown and everything is fine.
Anyone having the same experience :shock:

I played around a little bit and it seems that I get the exception if a material is assigned to more than one instance of the same object

1. create Box01
2. create instance Inst01 of Box01
3. create instance Inst02 of Box01
4. assign material mat01 to Box01
5. assign material mat02 to Inst01
6. assign material mat03 to Inst02
7. Export
-> everything is fine:

Maybe I have to say that I just updatet from the last oFusion version to 1.6
But in this test case i dont use any material or scene from the last oFusion version.

I will review this issue asap

Are you sure those objects are instances? the exporter dont creates meshes for instanced objects (and will report them in the log), but from your logs, all objects are exported as non instanced objects

Well I'm not a pro regarding max3d :-)

What I did is I created the objects in max by selecting "clone" from the context menu and then "instance" in the subsequent dialog.
When I activate "show dependencies" I see all boxes in mangenta when selection a single one. So I guess they are instances.
I can send you the test scene if it helps.
