Loading Presets causes MAXScript error and Geometry don't connect to Forest

(1/1)

Shawn Olson:
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
--- End quote ---

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

Shawn Olson:
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.

Paul Roberts:
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!

Paul Roberts:
Confirmed! Out development team are looking into it. Thanks again for letting us know.
