HD Instance Help

[xchrisx]

Hi all,
Just started using HD Instance 1.8 and I am trying to find a way to have the instances I made (several thousand of them) move along a surface (think Sticky motion modifier) of a deforming object. I tried adding translation to the object that is instanced on the surface however it literally shoots off the surface at that point. I have tried the different Apply Transformation modes with no luck. Perhaps someone out there can shed some light on this?

thanks in advance,

What you need to do is keep your original object at 0,0,0. Then, let's say you are using null objects to place the instances, you would use the sticky modifier on those nulls.
