Title: forest_automat_ material
Post by: UB8512 on September 03, 2018, 07:37:23 AM

Hi,

sometimes when I merge forest pack object from another scene, message window pop ups. Is it something important or I can ignore it and use scene material?

Hi,

You can use the Use Scene Material option without any worries - Forest keeps references to its source materials and rebuilds it before rendering.

It needs to make such "auto material", because as mentioned in our on-line reference guide (https://docs.itoosoft.com/forestpack/forest-plugin/add-geometry#AddGeometry-Torebuildmaterialsifaccidentallyoverwritten:): "Since any object in Max can only have one material applied, Forest Pack Pro automatically creates a Multi/Sub object material based on the materials assigned to each individual item in the Geometry List."

Best regards,
