Regarding the hard edges you could take the original model and disconnect those edges so that they are now open. Import into 2014 and select border edges, create cluster, and then weld points. Select the cluster and make those edges hard. I think that should work if I am understanding the

For the ICE tree I would've thought you could just export it as a compound. It gets stored as plain text XML so if there are any obvious incompatibilities you can at least do a bit of detective work by diff'ing the export from both packages to see what you need to alter in the XML. A On 7

You either calculate your UV's per particle instance: http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=15t=257 Or you use a different method were you deform geometry instead of instancing. http://www.gustavoeb.com.br/mtools/documentation/#special-cases-16 Never heard of camera projection

Instances are perfect copies of the original objects, you can't have a different projection on each. You can however, do something in the shader so that each instance picks up a part of the texture at render time. You can use the node Camera_Map in the render tree, but your moving particles
