Title: Forest ok in viewport, not at render
Post by: Tom_1028 on October 23, 2023, 08:02:50 am

Hi,

I try to render a simple Forest Pack object: it looks fine in the viewport but when I render it nothing appears.
I checked all the settings in the Forest Pack object nothing looks wrong.
Even the Forest stats look correct: it says 240 items are in the viewport and 240 are being rendered but nothing is actually rendered.

Can you help?

Thanks a lot,

I use 3ds Max 2023.3.3 (25.0 - 25.3.3.6012) with Corona 10 HF1

Hi,

It's quite difficult to say what might be happening in your scene based on the provided description. If possible, please feel free to send us (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) your scene, ideally simplified and containing only the problematic object(s). Thank you in advance for any further details you can share with us or our user community in case other users encounter similar issues.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your message.
I am sending you the problematic scene.

Here is a screenshot showing what's happening: as you can see I try to scatter some plants on a wall. They appear correctly on the viewport but you can see that no plants is showing up in the render.

Furthermore the issue may be due to the collisions, so I deactivated them but the result is the same.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you so much for providing the scene. To fix it, you need to disable the Limit to visibility feature in the Camera (https://docs.itoosoft.com/forestpack/forest-plugin/camera) roll-out. I would like to mention that since FP7, "To improve viewport performance, Camera features are disabled by default. You need to enable the "Enable on Viewport" checkbox."

Best regards,
