RailClone Pro (*) / Conform to landscape w Flat top?
« Last post by zandernice on Today at 10:16:37 pm »I was looking at the fantastic boardwalk set up and I was wondering if there is a tutorial to set up custom geometry (like this castle wall) so the top is flat, but the bottom deforms and conforms to the landscape?

Forest Pro (*) / Scale from height
« Last post by CharlyRT on Today at 09:23:14 pm »Hi
I was modelling a vase with attached details
I manage to reproduce in some sort of way, but I was wondering a better way to handle the scale in top and bottom
I tried with Alttiude Range, Probability Map in Scale and with some effects but couldnt know how to do it
What helped in way was using UV Transform Scale in Surface but the scale its not the same
I attach my "solution" and reference images

RailClone Pro (*) / Gradient Problem
« Last post by lingrenddd on Today at 06:40:22 pm »Hi!
Please help me!
I have a scene where I need to make the green objects become less and less frequent from top to bottom. How can I do this?
Thanks!

I have problems using the library windows
The units I always use are meters/meters
the windows are displayed like this
I don't know how I could solve it
Thank you!

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Seemingly random blurry patches - Vray GPU
« Last post by TeeKay on July 11, 2025, 05:51:37 pm »Hi,Sorry, I got issues mixed up; we currently have 2 problems submitted to Chaos and it was a different issue related to a different plugin that they referred us back to the plugin creator.
I'm sorry to hear you're encountering these issues. To be honest, I'm not sure why Chaos Group referred you to us—when it comes to GPU rendering, support for our plug-in is fully handled by Chaos Group. That said, we’ll do our best to help from our side. Would you mind running a quick test using Forest Tools to export all distributed items as instances before rendering? You can find this option under Utilities > More... > Forest Tools. For more information, please refer to our online reference guide. This test will help determine whether the issue occurs during the conversion of the Forest object.
Thanks in advance for any additional details you can provide.
Best regards,
For this issue, they just haven't responded at all yet
Thanks for being willing to help though!
After instantiating the wood chips, the render looks exactly the same I'm afraid. (didn't bother attaching the image, there really is no difference)

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Outgoing / Incoming corners ?
« Last post by HU0164 on July 11, 2025, 04:59:27 pm »Thank's.
I've pretty much succeeded in what I set out to do.
But I don't understand why the 2 elements designated by the arrows don't take into account (on this side of my angle object) the padding value.
Everything else works fine.
Thanks for your help.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Using GBuffer ID to Switch Material Visibility in Single Forest Pack Preset?
« Last post by CM1251 on July 11, 2025, 03:22:39 pm »Hi Michal,
That is an option too, but I would’ve preferred a single instance of the object and some feature to control its variables. Mainly to keep the list shorter, as right now it already has 20 vehicles (and I plan to increase this to 24). Duplicating them would make the list incredibly unwieldy.
For example, if I place everything down and then select the active cars, I can’t just mass-change their GBuffer IDs to 1. I’d have to go through the list, set all the inactive/parked car probabilities to 0%, and then run a randomizer to replace those vehicles. After that, I’d still need to manually check that each placed vehicle has the correct geometry selection and colour. Knowing the workflow beforehand would help, but since I only do this occasionally, it ends up involving a lot of rework and trial and error each time.
This is why having the ability to control each instance’s GBuffer ID (or a custom Forest ID) would be so helpful. If I had furniture, trees, or vehicle colours tied to the ID, I could simply change an item’s ID value to get the result I want, without needing separate geometry items or FP presets.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Outgoing / Incoming corners ?
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 11, 2025, 03:02:04 pm »Depending on whether the beveling operation is required, you can either wire an empty Segment or change the type of the relevant vertices and adjust the Rules > Corner > Vertex Type setting accordingly.

And if I want to put an object only in the outgoing corners and nothing in the incoming corners.
In the incoming corners, I'd like the "default node" to be used.
Is this possible?
