Title: V-Ray Material Override
Post by: Bobby Parker on June 12, 2015, 03:05:19 AM
My grass is making my white soffit green, so I put a V-Ray Override Material with a Vray gray material for the GI over it. I render, the green reflection is still there and when I go back to the material, the override material is gone.

Hi,

As mentioned in our on-line reference guide (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Forest+Pack+Documentation): "Since any object in Max can only have one material applied, Forest Pack Pro automatically creates a Multi/Sub object material based on the materials assigned to each individual item in the Geometry List. "

It is not safe to modify directly that "automaterial", because Forest keeps references to its source materials. Instead you should modify the material linked to that item - Custom Object(s) - Material (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Add+Geometry#AddGeometry-Toassignamaterialtoanobject:). Any changes made this way, will be projected safely to the Forest's "automaterial".

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
