I Can't get the Material Optimizer to work with my (free) Xfrog tree, please help.
What I do:
- make a new circle shape.
- import an Xfrog tree (EU03 Acer Opalus - Italian Maple) "EU03m.max"
- make a new Forest 3 Lite object
In the forest object settings:
- select EU03m as a custom object
- press the "Optimize Materials" button in the "Materials" rollout
- press "Optimize" in the popup menu screen.
- press "Yes" in the 'process will optimize the materials in the scene' - popup
Then I get a popup saying "There are not Forest objects selected !"
...And that's it, nothing else seems to happen. Rendering time is not 7,5 times faster than before pressing the butten. :(
Am I doing something wrong?
We're considering buying the Forest Pro plugin and extra tree libraries, but in doubt which works best for closeups and further away.

Ops... you are right, it doesn't work with Forest Lite !. Unfortunately we forgot to test this specific case.
I just fixed the bug. Please, copy the attached script in <maxdir>\Scripts\forestpack, overwritting the existing file. Next, reset Max and try again.

Oh my,
I replaced the file and everything works without any problems.
Rendering my test-scen went from 33 minutes to 4 and a half minute!
Thank you very much for the fast response.
I think I know now which tree-pack we have to get along with your plugin.
