Whenever I try to load the Stone Presets from FP, I get a MAXScript error:

Quote
Warning : Can't find object "" in the source scene

After this warning, Forest gets populated with a bunch of Geometry entries but none of the imported geometry gets tied to those entries... and the materials are not loaded onto the geometry.

I tried going into the presets to check for bad scripts or if one of the XML/json files pointed to an object that doesn't exist, but I could not find anything that stuck out. This issue

As a hint, I opened the preset source Max file ( _FP_Rocks_Presets ) and removed the first Empty entry, and it stopped crashing. I suspect the MAXScript just needs to check for an entry with no object assigned.

Thanks for reporting this Shawn, I'll look into it. An empty entry is often used to create empty clusters in a distribution so it's not necessarily an error for them to be in the preset. If the library isn't able to open them though - then that's something we'll need to look into!
