Forest Pro beta / Re: Lister crash
« Last post by iToo on Today at 09:15:47 AM »Those plugins are pretty standard. I doubt they're causing the issue.
And theorically there is not difference between Max 2024 and 2025 in relation to the Lister.
Unfortunately we need to reproduce the problem to fix it.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Forest Pro and Railclone don't install plugin files
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on Today at 08:16:59 AM »Hi,
In the case of 3ds max 2025, please install the latest beta versions, which include support for 3ds max 2025. These can be downloaded from the User Panel in the Downloads - Beta versions section.
We're currently focused on the upcoming release of FP9, with several public beta versions already available. While we are working hard to bring this to completion, we haven't set a specific release date yet. Thank you for your understanding. As mentioned earlier by my colleague Carlos here: "The plugins are completed, but we continue working on the ForestIvy library and the auxiliary software. Unfortunately, we cannot give you a release date. If you are in a hurry to use Max 2025, you can use beta versions safely. There will be few differences with the final release."
I hope that helps.
Best regards,

Forest Pro (*) / Forest Pro and Railclone don't install plugin files
« Last post by ViperCG on September 09, 2024, 07:24:23 PM »I recently did the upgrade for 3ds max 2025 and when I installed the plugin, it didn't install the plugin files into the 3ds max folder. I have since uninstalled everything and re installed again, and it still doesn't find it. I even chose the option to choose the paths, and it seems it doesn't recognize my 2024 or 2025 installations of 3ds max. How can I fix this?

Forest Pro beta / Re: Lister crash
« Last post by CharlyRT on September 09, 2024, 06:00:18 PM »Indeed its very odd
This is only happening in this scene with max 2025
The plugins that im using are
Vray 6.20
Corona 12.1
Phoenix 5.22
GrowFX 2.0.1
RailClone 6.2.2b
Sini Plugins 2.0.0
BerconMaps
Floor Generator
Multitexture
TyFlow
Im testing in Max 2024 with all the same plugins/scripts and its not happening there, could it be something related to that?

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Scale error in forest
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on September 09, 2024, 03:25:41 PM »Hi,
Sometimes, as seems to be the case here, the presence of vertical polygons in the object can cause incorrect results when calculating the Surfaces > Scale to fit sloped areas. A recommended solution is to remove these polygons (see the attached modified scene 240909_forest_size_ITOOSOFT.max) or disable this feature. I hope this helps.

Forest Pro (*) / Scale error in forest
« Last post by ben_img on September 09, 2024, 02:40:00 PM »Hi, please see attached render and max file (missing maps shouldn't affect the issue)
if you can recreate the issue, and know what is it
I found a solution to remove those big segment using the slope restriction. it seems to happen where two faces are on top of each other on the mesh
the main issue is that it's not visible in the viewport!
3dsmax 2023 (25.0)
forest 826
render engine fstorm latest

Forest Pro beta / Re: Lister crash
« Last post by iToo on September 09, 2024, 11:03:50 AM »We tried on several computers, but we could not to reproduce this.
It's a strange issue, because it has not been reported by other customers.
What other plugins and scripts do you use ? Perhaps some of them is causing problems with the Lister.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Some plants are fighting for the place on ground (flickering) in animation
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on September 09, 2024, 10:21:12 AM »It sounds like some items may be hidden from the viewport to optimize performance. Please try disabling any viewport limits in the Display rollout before switching to Custom Edit mode by setting the limits to 0. This should ensure there’s no difference. If you have any further troubles with it, please feel free to send us your scene and we'll check it. Thank you in advance.

Work in Progress / Re: Lawn being out of scale.
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on September 09, 2024, 08:25:30 AM »Hi,
It's most likely related to the scale of the object used as a surface. When using any scaled surface, Forest will inherit that scale, which may not be desirable. To fix this, simply reset the Forest scale to 100%. In these situations, I recommend applying the Reset XForm utility to the surface to reset its local coordinates and scale. I hope this helps.
