There are some assets that comes with a lot of scatter objects and its very frustrating having to convert each one of them to max geometry, as current version doesnt have an option to do it automatically.
Sometimes theres a need to convert to geometry all scatters in order to share the scene to another colleague/client that doesnt use Vray or Corona, sometimes I want to sell some models that I make and there are some webpages that requires to not use scatters.
