Title: Problem with Edge mode and Corona 9
Post by: amitgedia on February 16, 2023, 11:23:13 AM

Hi,
I am trying to use the Unkempt Lawn AIO 4 (detail) preset to scatter grass on a surface. When i use the edge mode it gives me an error as shown in the attachment.
I am using 3dsmax 2020, Corona 9 HF1 and FP 8.0.7.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks in advance.

When rendering - Is it still showing ? The edge mode does not work in the viewport unless you hold the Ctrl key and press "edgemode"

While rendering it does not give error but you can see in the image that the edge mode has not worked. Also as you asked it gives the error only when holding the CNTRL key while viewing in the viewport.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear, you are facing trouble with it. We've already fixed it and until it'll be published, to apply that patch, please overwrite your local copy of the _fp_unkempt_lawn_corona.mat (located at C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\lib\Presets\Layered_Lawns\matlibs) file with the one I’m just sending you by email.

Let me add, that as mentioned in this post (https://forum.itoosoft.com/forest-pro-(*)/boundry-clipping-layered-lawn/msg32894/#msg32894), which should help in this kind of trouble (if the preset doesn't have the Forest Edge map applied, you can easily fix it by going to the Material rollout and launching the Optimize Materials tool where make sure Apply Forest Edge is checked and click Optimise).

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Thanks Michal for the .mat file.
I installed it according to the instructions given by you and again recreated the forest scatter objects from scratch.

Attaching the results below.

Do you think its the right output ? I think there still is some issue.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

Hi Michal,
Thanks for the email. I think that would be the best solution and will surely try that out.
Thanks again
