Greetings,
Hmmmm…. You're right. We need a better technical answer. It doesn't
appear that the AXP 'sends secondary motion data' to video post. Basically,
the AXP simply takes the secondary motion data into account in the equations of
motion for the particles. It sounds as if putting particles into the scene
through an AXP using absolute coordinates may cause the 3DS.LOC file (the ASCII
summary Video Post outputs describing object position) to get corrupted or to
contain erroneous information. THAT would account for the LenzFX bug, since I
think it probably uses 3DS.LOC to find the lights…
Oh, Jonas…..?
