Title: small issue ²
Post by: JL2535 on February 06, 2014, 03:10:06 PM
Dear All,
Thanks a lot for your excellent plugins  8)

Last year i've posted a topic about a problem :
http://forum.itoosoft.com/index.php?topic=1703.0

My file continue to have an issue since the last time.
I've got some forestpack in my 3d scene -> one for big grass, one for little rocks...etc...
And the last for bushes which still getting bugs. (disapear during the animation rendering)

Unfortunately when I re-create a new one from my licence I ve got this : (I invit you to see the pictures below )

Any idea ??? I don't know what to do.. I ve tested everything
Damien.

I remember that ITOO made some changes in their libraries (some geometry were modified)
Maybe it affects the final result - due to geometry size which forces distribution to be distinct.

Infact this two renders was done in the same file with geometries purchased on a website (igrass)
That's not explain why I've got different shading and placement because my both forestpack load the same geometrie/shading ?

I haven't met this issue when i've re-create all the others forestpack.. humhum

Maybe when i've downloaded the free forestpack preset I've bring to my scene somes bugs..
Still searching a solution  :'(

Please, select the Forest object and run this in the Maxscript listener:

$.savedversion

What is the result ?

Hello

I've got this :
"4.1.5b Pro"

That's all.

Hmm When I bake the forestpack, doing a mesh snapshot, it's working, no different shading..etc..
That should be the last solution but it gives 12 million additional polygons huhuhu

Waiting for news    :o

Please, send us a stripped scene to support@itoosot.com. I will check it.
If you have the original object, send it as well. We must compare both Forests.

Ok. The origin of the objects is not the same, probably because they were created in a different way. That affects the distribution. Please, do this:

1) Run in the Maxscript listener (F11): $'FOREST-RECREATED'.pos = $'FOREST_OLD-NICE'.pos
2) Check the Transform settings, are not identical (Translation Z, Rotation X/Y and Rotation Map).
3) Rebuild the new forest (Display->Update).

That should solve the problem.

Wow thanks a lot, the placement is now the same !

I've still get a different shading, if you got an idea :)
Anyway, Thanks you very much you saved my life  :-*

I hope no forestpack will disappear in the final animation rendering after all of this :)
