Forest Pro (*) / Re: Forest and Railclone never remember texture links
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on October 20, 2025, 01:03:21 pm »
Hi,

First, let me mention that textures for any items handled by our plug-ins are treated like any other asset in the scene. Simply setting the correct paths in 3ds Max under Customize > Configure User Paths > External Files (stored in 3dsmax.ini) should be sufficient. If the Asset Tracking tool shows the status as Found for those textures, there shouldn’t be any problem.

If preferred, using environment variables can be a good option. In recent versions of 3ds Max, you can use environment variables for this purpose (for example, ADSK_3DSMAX_ASSETS_MAPS_DIR). Please see the following link for more details:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2026/ENU/?guid=GUID-D7D373FD-CA78-4986-AB3D-B1E25F2A37CC

Let me add that, in general, we recommend resolving all references used by our plug-ins to absolute UNC paths using the Asset Tracker. It’s not strictly necessary, but this approach usually helps avoid texture path issues when using distributed rendering. The “default” file handling is controlled by 3ds Max and can be adjusted under: Options > Preference Settings > File Handling > Convert file paths to UNC. This ensures that all your scenes use UNC paths consistently.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Forest Pro (*) / Forest and Railclone never remember texture links
« Last post by quadrantatelier on October 17, 2025, 09:46:51 pm »
Hi,

Ive had this problem for a while. I understand some forums have said well just relink the textures using the configure projects paths and set a texture path for every folder of plants and other things i will ever use, but this gets just old. Ive reset windows, ive reinstalled 3ds max, but railclone and forest pack never ever remembers where the textures are when imported. Whats worse, everytime i save and reopen the file, it forgets them again so i have to relink everything again. Can anything be done about this because its driving me nuts.

thanks

Forest Pro (*) / Re: After using Vertical grasses won't reset

Hi Phil,

Please double-check the orientation of the Forest object — realigning it to the world axes should fix the issue. If that doesn’t resolve it, could you please send us a simplified version of your scene so we can analyze it further? Thank you in advance for any additional comments on this issue that you can share with us or our user community, in case other users encounter similar troubles.

Best regards,

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: License server under Linux with wine
« Last post by JG_archviz on October 16, 2025, 10:42:29 am »
maybe i was too hesitating.

After reboot it shows licenses are activated, and also hardware-id is the same as when it worked.

But server information says "No network licenses installed" ---- bummer.

I installed Linux Mint in a VM on my Qnap Virtualization Station and its running wine.

Installing the Itoo License Manager worked so did the activation of the licenses...

Running fine so far. Will see if that will be a persistent sollution

Hi,

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing these issues. Since Forest Pack 9.3.1, a problem where ForestSet triggered a Forest rebuild when modifying layers — even if ForestSet wasn’t using layers — has been fixed. Based on your description alone, it’s difficult to determine what might be causing the issue. Therefore, if possible, please send us your scene so we can review it here. Thanks in advance for any additional details you can share that might help us identify the source of the problem.

Best regards,
