Title: Use of material optimizer
Post by: 3d-labor on June 14, 2021, 09:34:04 AM
I want to become clear of the use of the material optimizer. As I understand it, material optimizer is only applied to the one selected forest object when working in the modyfy panel. If I want to optimize all materials for all all forest objects I have to select all forest objects for example with the "select by name" tool and then open the "Forest tools" and apply the optimizer here. Is this the right way? I would make a suggestion: after optimizing a blue progress bar is shown at the bottom. If the bar is full I think the optimizer has done it´s work. But in some cases i cant close the window suddenly. It sometimes take some seconds more, so that I think the optimizer wasn´t ready yet. Could you please add a "Close" button to this window which is greyed out as long optimizer isn´t ready? Or should it be ready if the blue bar is full and there are other problems with my installation?

Hi.

If you want to apply Optimizations on multiple forest objects then You can do the following:

1. Select 1st forstpack object,
2. Pin Selection object
3. Select all forest Pack objects
4. Press Optimize Materials
5. Chose settings and press "Optimize"

We will edit optimizer a bit, so progress bar resets if You do optimization again. Now it does not reset progress bar if You press Optimize more than once one the same object.

Hope this helps.
