Error on Material Override

[grue]

FP 8.0.6 and Vray 6.1004

When I create anything from the Library, Layered Lawn for example, I get an error "Error on Material Override"  however it seems to render just fine.

I can't render, however, any of the cut hedges i've tried.  i get the same error, but not even any previews in the viewport (mesh/proxy/point-cloud). 

so maybe these are two separate issues b/c the layered lawns work?

thanks,

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear, you are facing trouble with it.  Please, proceed with the following:

• Delete ForestQtCatalog.dll and ForestQt.dll files from the 3ds max root folder (by default C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2022).
• Reinstall the plug-in (it shouldn‘t be needed, but it‘s recommendable).

That should fix it. I hope that helps and please let us know if that's all working fine or if you are still facing troubles with it. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

hello.  ok i tested this morning and got the error, but i then updated to version 820 instead of trying this fix.  after updating, i searched for this .dll but could not find it in the default location or in the program files folder at all.  so then i checked to see if i still got the error and low and behold, no error

thanks!

We added a check in Forest 8.2.0 and RailClone 5.3.0, to remove these DLLs automatically from the installer.
So this problem should not happen again.
