I was testing instance objects with RayObject, instance with option "render instance"
I see that they come at the end of the RayObject(s) list, is this always happening?? "so I can depend on this behavior".

so when I loop over all RayObject(s), I get real objects first, then instances.

Hi Mohamed,

currently it is correct, render instances come at the end. But why is this relevant? And you surely should not rely on such an implementation detail, as it may change in future versions of Cinema 4D.
Rather use the instance member of the RayObject and check, if it is a nullptr or not. If it's unequal nullptr, it is a render instance.
