Title: Bug loading materials in update
Post by: Terri Brown on February 29, 2020, 12:57:09 PM

Hi guys,

I updated to the latest FP version 6.2.4, and now when I try to add an object from the library I get the error message attached. I've tried with a few different FP presets/single objects that are shipped with the plugin. When I updated I just followed all the usual prompts...nothing different from usual.

I also seem to have the same problem Alfa was having when her FP objects are visible in the scene but don't render (https://forum.itoosoft.com/forest-pro-(*)/6-2-3-bug-forest-ojects-dont-render-in-automatic-mode/) ... except that switching from auto to mesh mode doesn't fix it.

And now the objects are disappearing from my viewport too...seems to happen after I try render the first time.

I re-iterate that I am using the latest FP update. 3ds max 2014 Vray Next

Hi Terri

1. Please set material quality dropdown option to High instead of Low.
2. Is it with Interactive Rendering?
Anyway, please attach a scene or send (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) it to us. And we will check it.

Hi Rokas,

Thanks for your reply. In answer to your questions:

1) thanks that sorted out importing the library file...will there be a fix in the next update for this?
2) no I'm not using IPR

So after restarting my machine the FP objects seem to be rendering - very strange as I had previously restarted max itself to try see if that would help. Another case of The Computer Wins Again!  ???
