Forest Pro (*) / Re: AcesCG workflow
« Last post by grue on May 14, 2024, 08:38:40 PM »i shold also mention, for me to get the closest match to the frame buffer when opening a file saved out... i save the file as a 16bit tif and again check that box for saving the profile in the image. when i open it in photoshop, i set it so that PS prompts me what it wants me to do because there is no color profile embedded. i choose "assign adobe rgb".
edit: and by the way, what i don't show as a screen shot is that there are Input Image Files > Automatic Color Space Assignment Rules rollout further down the color management settings. i have my rules set to be the following screen shot.
if i'm correct on all of this, you no longer necessarily need to change image file names with _srgb or _lin_srgb this looks like a place where we can set the default of images from the web or manufactures (carpet, tile etc) all can be assumed to srgb so we don't have to change anything. and playing around with this lately, the grass preset does look different from a gamma workflow render but it's not rediculously out of wack.

RailClone Lite / Re: Spline Node Issue
« Last post by ss on May 14, 2024, 11:18:21 AM »I checked your data and make sure it works precisely.
Then I tried to do it by myself. But, new problem has occured.
In my viewport there is no option of convert to editable spline, though there are editable mesh and NURBS options.
I think it is not Rail Clone issue but I want to know if you have any ideas.
Thanks a bunch,

« Last post by ss on May 14, 2024, 09:13:16 AM »Hi,
Now I checked the Distance value, still no changes here...
(Also I switched the Mode under Evenly section from Distance to Count.)
I attached my scene file. There may be something that I missed.
RailClone version is 5.2.2. and 3ds Max is 2020.
Kindly regards,

« Last post by iToo on May 14, 2024, 09:09:43 AM »This is not good. Doesn't Autodesk keep developers in the loop so plugins can be ready for MAX updates? I just moved over to MAX 2025. Didn't it come out two months ago?
Autodesk provides us a beta version so we can update our plugins, but they don't announce the final release date.
Unfortunately this time we were too busy with other tasks, and had not time to prepare the upgrade until the last minute (a poor excuse, i know... but it's the reality).
With Max 2025, the release coincided with the latest stages of Forest 9, so we had to work on both tasks simultaneously.
Futhermore, this Max build requires some internal changes, so we are applying them to the Forest 9 code, keeping the Forest 8 branch in hold.
Said that, the core of Forest 9 for Max 2025 is already finished. We're working now in the ForestIvy models for the library, installer, and other auxiliary tasks.
On parallel, we're preparing RailClone for 2025. Our plan is to release both plugins simultaneously.
I hope everything is ready in the next days.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on May 14, 2024, 08:44:26 AM »Hi,
I would suggest you check/adjust the Distance value (which determines the space between segments) under Properties > Rules > Evenly of the used L1S Generator. I hope that helps.

RailClone Lite / Spline Node Issue
« Last post by ss on May 14, 2024, 04:56:27 AM »I am just trying to set the box object along the curve01.
Though I linked spline node and segment node, nothing has changed on my viewport.
Is there any solution?
