Title: Forest pack pro: 2d library error with octane3 (5.2.0)
Post by: LC3872 on November 14, 2016, 10:53:38 AM
Hello,

When trying to use 2d assets i get this message:

Error loading material library: c:\.....\matlib\2d_std_octane.mat

No problem with 3d assets but 2d assets are totally unusable as i can't find a way to get their materials this is very annoying ...

forest pack pro 5.2.0
Octane 3

I already talk about this problem in a previous version of foret pack, seems it's ok for 3D assets now but not for 2D.

Thanks

Kwen

Hi Kwen,

Actually, for 2D billboards there are just versions for Standard, V-Ray or Mental Ray materials, as for proper application of 2D billboards the Forest Material (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Forest+Material) should be used. In case of Octane Renderer this is not supported (please feel free to check the Feature Compatibility table (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Requirements) in our on-line reference documentation), therefore there is no material library for it.

If you decide to give it a try in Octane renderer, please use the Standard material option - you can find it on the bottom of the Library Browser window. You should reassign just the Standard material without the Forest Material.

Best regadrs,

Hello,

Thanks for reply.

When i want to get a 2D asset, the "materials using" option is locked. (works fine with 3d assets where i can choose octane,vray ect)
So i can't get standard materials or any others mat.

Hi,

To be able to access the Materials option on those "non-compatible" libraries, please switch to any other "compatible" one (like some of our Presets - for example Lawns), make the change there (switch to Standard) and select back that "2D library". That should do the trick.

Best regards,
