Title: Display / Points-clouds
Post by: Arslan on October 01, 2024, 07:39:23 pm

Hello

In the new fp version(9.1.1), when the viewing mode is set to points-cloud, when I zoom out, the geometry shapes can be understood, but when I zoom in, the geometry shapes cannot be perceived. This is important for the following reason; it is not possible to adjust collision radiuses.

Hi, this is a limitation of the new Point-cloud mode. Dots are fixed for the Forest object, and don't change with the view.
In the old mode, dots were adjusted dinamically for the view. But this resulted in a poor performance, because it requires to update GPU data with each change.

There are two ways to improve this:

- Increase point-cloud density with the Display parameters. With the improved performance, it accepts higher values.
- You can revert to the old mode, setting cloudPointsByObject=0 in forestpack.ini (stored at C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\<max version>\ENU\en-US\plugcfg). This change requires to restart Max.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I will try to revert it to old mode.

Best regards.
