Title: BUG: network render crashes while using Alembic (.abc) for animated plants
Post by: ZO6039 on November 20, 2025, 04:37:02 am

I use .abc files to render animated plants with ForestPack on render farm. About one year ago I rendered .abc plants without problems, but now I get many errors on Deadline render farm:
Error: RenderTask: Unexpected exception (IPolyMeshSchema::get()

I get about 50 errors on 200 frames. Same computers which had an error can render same frame during next attempt. I don't know if this is FP problem or V-Ray problem. I use FP v.9.3.2 and V-Ray v.7.20.04.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you're facing trouble with it. Would you mind running a quick test using Forest Tools to export all items as instances before rendering? You can find this option under Utilities > More... > Forest Tools. For more information, please refer to our online reference guide (https://docs.itoosoft.com/forestpack/instantiating-and-exporting/forest-tools). This test will help us figure out if the issue occurs during the conversion of the Forest object or not. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
