It's been running for 10+ minutes now but I don't see anything happing.. is the viewport updated during the process?.. I have 14000 particles on here so I'm thinking it might take a while but... Could you add a progressbar to this? Heh.. I should have tested this on a simpler Instancer :) Hi,

I've made a lot of improvements to the utility a long time ago already. A pack of issues were solved, maybe some of these as well. I've just forgotten to update it here - I'll try to recheck the issues you've mentioned and make an update in a couple of days. Thanks for the feedback.

I've checked the geometry, instancers, and particles, and none have keyframes on visibility before I run your script... A followup on the visibility issue:

I only needed a single frame baked, but when I checked out multi-frame baking all the frames except the final frame were keyed invisible for each instanced object. Another anomaly: On my first attempt, the baked instances didn't match the Instancer. I found that one of the original meshes didn't have it's pivot at the origin. I moved it and centered the pivot, and then it worked. Very grateful. Thanks a million!

And I think goalWorldNormal0PP won't get generated at birth, so put this script into runtime expression instead of creation.
