Latest version 808, lots of rendering unhandled exceptions in VRay

[spike]

Hi
never had a problem with Forest Pro, just installled the latest version and lots of rendering unhandled exceptions in VRay.
After installing the previous version (ForestPackPro806_x64) and all gone.
It also had a rendering unhandled exception of not being able to find Grid2a.bmp, one doesn't exist, so I just copied and renamed Grid02.bmp, it did point to the right folder for the distribution maps ?

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you're facing these troubles. Is that behavior typical for any new scene or do you facing it with some specific one? If possible, please feel free to send us your scene (ideally simplified and containing just this problematic object(s)) to helpdesk@itoosoft.com to check it here. In case of a big file size, please use a web-sharing service like WeTransfer. Ideally, if you'll be able to reproduce it on a minimal scene, which you can send us, it would be great. Also please specify your actual software configuration (3ds Max & renderer versions used). Any additional info is welcome.

Thanks in advance for any further comments on this issue you can share about it with us / our user community (in case some user(s) will run into similar troubles).

Best regards,

[iToo]

We're making tests with our scenes, using Max 2023, FP 8.0.8 and latest V-Ray (6.10.02). Until now everything render without errors.
It would be caused by some specific combination of versions or features.

Hi
Max 2020 3.4 Security Fix, VRay Next 3.2
Can't send the scene, NDA and all that, it is an ongoing project but uses some assets 3-4 years old. Haven't tested it on a new scene but the unhandled exceptions happened across 2 other ongoing projects.

The 806 FPro version is working fine.

Ok, thanks for the information.

We are in contact with ChaosGroup about this issue. We'll post here as soon as we have some news.
Meanwhile, please downgrade Forest to a previous version.

I apologize for the inconveniences.

Crashing on me too, reverting to 807. 3ds 2019, vray 6 sp3.

Same problem here. Render starts and stops with nothing being rendered.
Max 2023.3 and Vray 5.2.3
Reverting back to 807 fixed it.

Same problem here! Using Max 2023.3 with VRay 6 update 1 (6.10.02) and Forest 8.0.8
Nothing renders and when exiting the frame buffer some forest elements are disappeared.

Reverting to 8.0.7 resolved the issue and all is working once again. 8.0.8 seems to have an issue?

Problem found and fixed.
You can download the update in Forest Pack 8.0.9.

Thanks for the quick response, first time Forest Pro has been a 'problem' for me and first time I found an actual bug !

[Bobby Parker]

Same here. Downloading update now.

Problem found and fixed.
You can download the update in Forest Pack 8.0.9.

I can confirm the 8.0.9 makes stuff working again! Thanx for the quick fix!
