Known Issues:
- There is no optmization to high number of instances per distribution (1000+ objects) at this stage.
- It is possible that some settings will be lost when opened on newer versions due to differences in data structure.
- If loading the previous settings fail, previous distributed objects will not be deleted on new distributions.
- Some settings are not yet implemented on certain modes. This condition is not yet reflected on the UI.
- Paint distribution mode relies on Object Paint feature in 3ds max and some settings will not work at this moment.
