Display

[Bobby Parker]

I have Forest items that I use repeatedly. I merge them, but they are showing as ticks on the beta. It is displaying as if it can't find the proxy, but it renders fine.

Hi Bobby,

As it's really hard to say, what's happening in your scene just from the provided screenshot - if possible, please feel free to send us your scene (ideally simplified and containing just this problematic object(s)) to check it here. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

What kind of Forest Items do u have in your scene?
In a recent project I found that when using vray proxies in the beta you need to show them as full geometry, otherwise they will show extremely small, but it will render fine

Yes this should be corrected. Because a lot of people use VrayProxy even though ForestColor is not working properly (FP8). Their workflow is set to VrayProxy and having everything display on FullMesh is not a very happy solution. It makes the scene take longer to load.

I forgot to mention that in prior versions having the proxies on any other display wont affect the Forest Object display at all
What I do is to display as box from 3ds Max display dont know it this affects loading times but it helps me not showing in viewport, also I put all scattered objects in an invisible layer
Hope this could be fixed

Next beta update will be available soon.

For the the stable release, it's difficult to estimate.
That depends of the reported bugs, suggestions and changes proposed while the beta. But not less thant a couple of months, i guess.

Okay, because it is happening to everything now. This scene is full of Forest Pro elements

This should be fixed in FP 9.0.1b.
