[ldotchops]

I am scattering objects and i need to make them incredibly dense, but once i go below a certain threshold my render is blank and they dissapear. Max density is at 999 mil but they don't show up. image is on full.

Thanks

Hi,

When facing this kind of issue, you can check more details under the General > Forest Stats window. It should give you a hint of where the problem is. In the case of big areas or high density, you may reach the Max items / Max faces for viewport / render limits, and you may need to increase some of them. Since the Forest Pack Pro/Lite 5.0.5, "All scattering limits (Distribution > Max. Density, Display > Max Items/Faces) can be disabled by setting the value to zero." It's also possible to set them from Maxscript in the following way:

$.maxdensity = 0
$.vmaxitems = 0
$.rmaxitems = 0
$.maxfaces = 0

Please feel free to have a look at this related post regarding the error message ("Some forests were not built correctly in the last render").

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
