Forest Pro (*) / Re: Scattering by distance to edge
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on November 28, 2025, 02:07:51 pm »Hi Gabriel,
There are several possible approaches. In addition to the previously mentioned Change Items by Distance to Boundary effect, using the Match Color ID on Map feature driven by a map (for example, a Gradient Ramp) should work as well. Please feel free to send us / upload your scene and we'll check it here.
Best regards,

Forest Pro (*) / Scattering by distance to edge
« Last post by Gabriel17 on November 28, 2025, 01:56:13 pm »Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to use items by distance to boundary effect so I could create "rows" of plants based on distance to the splines i just draw. That way I could control which IDs would be close to the edge, on the center of it and the ones in the middle.
So far my geometry list is the following:
I'm almost sure i need to use distance to boundary effect, but so far no sucess.
thanks

- Miscanthus01
- Miscanthus02
- Euphorbia
- Brunera01
- Brunera02
I'm almost sure i need to use distance to boundary effect, but so far no sucess.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Garbage/Animation layers in base files

Regarding the .fp files of ForestIvy, as you pointed out, is a propietary format which let us to distribute the libraries without depending of the 3DS Max version.
These files can be loaded in 3DS Max using File->Import. Same for RailClone with the .rail format.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on November 28, 2025, 10:17:36 am »Thank you for providing all the additional details. This shouldn’t be related to the scene itself, but it might be connected to the connector application or how it interacts with 3ds Max. Have you tried closing the connector application to see if that makes any difference? Are you able to reproduce the problem without using the connector application?
Thanks in advance for any further details you can share about this issue.

Forest Pro (*) / Garbage/Animation layers in base files
« Last post by Erik Clemens on November 27, 2025, 07:42:21 pm »A lot of your base files (Forest Presets, 3D Garden Library, ForestIvy) contain animation layers, which to my knowledge are completely unneccessary. This really slows down my file loading and rendering. Normally when I see it is one of these meshes, I just load, clean and save them back and the problem is solved.
However, with ForestIvy the base files are *.pl format. I tried to rename it to *.max so I could load them and do the same resaving, but the *.pl file is something proprietary.
Could you please clean these files and resave them, or get rid of the animation layers inside them?
Thanks

Forest Pro (*) / Re: New Update Manager - Maxscript access for location?
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on November 27, 2025, 12:18:40 pm »Hi Morne,
You can modify the path without opening the UI by editing the Assets Folder entry in the following system registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Itoo Software\Update Manager\Preferences
I hope this helps.
