Forest Packs not rotating
« on: September 01, 2023, 02:06:59 PM »
Hi all,

Anyone know why my rotate isn't working on Forest Pack, very strange as it works in a new fresh file.

Pretty much all my forest packs in this file, about 30 or so appear not to be rotating the geometry, I always set them up to rotate so this is perplexing.

Any help appreciated, has anoyone else had this?

Latest version of FP and max 24.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

As it's really hard to say, what's happening in your scene just from the provided description, if possible, please feel free to send us your scene (ideally simplified and containing just this problematic object(s)) to check it here. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hi Michal,

I can't send the file as to big. I think I've worked out the problem, it might be a small bug or perhaps my misunderstanding of the Camera function. In this scene I had Camera limit to visibilty, this stopped things rotating randomnly, rotate works fine with this turned off, I think this probably shouldn't happen?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

That sounds like, you have the Camera > Look At feature enabled (when enabled, it rotates the items to look at a specified object - the camera or other node from the scene) – once disabled, the Transform > Rotation randomization should work just fine.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
