Did you get this error on network rendering, on interactive mode or both ? Are you using MR bucket rendering ?

If you don't solve it, please post here the scene (only the trees and related objects), or send the file to support@itoosoft.com.

(scene received by e-mail, i post here the fix as information for other users)

The material applied to the Forest object is not correct. It is of type "Forest Material->Multi/Sub->Forest Material->Standard Mat", but this structure is not recognized by our MR shader. It must be this way: "Multi/Sub->Forest Material->Standard Mat", as described here:

http://www.itoosoft.com/english/menu.php?id=forest_mat

By default, Forest builds automatically the right Multi/Sub from the individual materials assigned on the Geometry List. But this behavior is disabled for this object (the checkbox "Consolide Materials" on "Geometry" rollout is disabled).

To fix it:

1) Enable "Consolide Materials" checkbox
2) Click "Reassign Material" button
