object instancer animation nodes only work on a clean new blend file? i don't know if Jacques Lucke is here on blenderstack for help but
it seems that i can't make the object instancer node work on top the work i'm currently doing
in the picture below, i set the instance of the object to 3, i know (from my observation) that without any other nodes involved the object instances will pop right at the center location of the world, in this case where my object is at. but all i select when i try to place the instances around is the object alone, no other instances.

i tried the same with a new blend file

no problems
there must be a setting to set here but i just dont know :(
The instanced objects are in the same layer as the source, but not in the same scene! each node tree has a scene attached to it (you see which one in the left toolbar). also you can use a "Create Scene List" node to tell the Instancer node which scenes the instances should be in.
