Forest Pro (*) / Re: One FP version on two different 3d studio versions.
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 04, 2025, 02:16:44 pm »Hi,
There is no need for any special process - our plug-ins support multiple 3ds Max versions, and the installer should handle the installation process automatically. It might be that for some, 3ds Max 2025 isn't detected by the installer. When installing, in the Select Installation Type window, please check the Advanced Installation option - that will enable the selection of versions that aren't "detected" (in this case, 3ds Max 2025).
I hope that helps you, and please let us know if everything is working fine or if you are still facing trouble with it. Thanks in advance and have a great day.
Best regards,

Forest Pro (*) / One FP version on two different 3d studio versions.
« Last post by swavec on July 04, 2025, 01:57:51 pm »Hi
Im installing FP and there is no choice for what MAX version install to.
It installs to 2022 ignoring 2025 version. Repeating installation process doesn't change anything.
Is it possible to have double installation of FP? Haw to choose MAX version?
Thank You

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Corona Distance for density?
« Last post by Lupaz on July 03, 2025, 04:06:29 pm »Not sure if this was suggested before, but it would be great if Forest pack could use gradients and not just black/white for distribution and density.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Multiple Monitors
« Last post by dirkmyers on July 03, 2025, 02:33:06 pm »See attached. I do work on a virtual machine. My local has 4 monitors and virtual uses the 3 on the left. I reopened max after going through the steps. RC came up in the last location. Then it immediately throws it back on the main monitor.

3.jpg - Monitor resolution
4.jpg - Registry after closing and reopening max and adding a RC My main display is 1 which max opens on.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: FP cannot render objects with VRayLightMtl materials on renderfarm
« Last post by iToo on July 02, 2025, 10:21:22 am »We just contacted to Chaos about this issue: to use Direct Illumination Forest object must return a triangle mesh.
But by default, Forest generates instances of the source object and a null triangle mesh.
To fix it, just set Display->Render to Meshes, as Michal suggested.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Can you add a few forest packs as a single preset in the library?
« Last post by Rhodesy on July 02, 2025, 10:12:28 am »Thanks Michal, I can stop looking at least. Yes adding this as a feature would be very powerful and hopefully not too much effort if you can get the forest library to import multiple fp objects at once as a start.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 02, 2025, 08:14:11 am »Hi Rob,
I'm afraid, that as mentioned in this tightly related post - at the moment, the Library Manager does not support handling multiple Forest objects. These objects need to be handled separately, as individual Forest objects. This is similar to the case of our Layered Lawns presets. The same applies to importing - although it is possible to import several items from the library simultaneously, these layered presets need to be added to the scene one by one. This is because a new Forest object is required for each of these presets. We'll see what can be done in future versions.
