Thanks, let me know if it works with tree party in case anyone asks in the future.
Quote: "Hi, I'm interested in this add-on and I'm curious about how it handles animated characters and objects at a distance."
The animated models need to be instanced at the moment, although this may change in the future, its due to the way DBPro stops updating animations when the objects are hidden, which they are when they are imposters.
On the video, all the distant characters whose frame rate is lower are imposters while the closer characters are real objects. The frame rate is lower because the imposters are only being updated 4-5 times a second. This is something you can set yourself, although the more you update the imposters the less cpu you will save, so it's a balance between fooling the player while achieving a good frame rate.

This is the first time I have heard of this issue, I presume you have downloaded products from TGC before?
I will contact TGC for you.
