RailClone Pro (*) / Arnold Render Error for Max 2024
« Last post by Alohacajun on April 10, 2025, 02:37:57 PM »I'm running Railcone Pro 6.4.1 on Max 2024 with MAXtoA 5.8.0.0 (Arnold 7.4.0.0). I create a scene with a RC object and get an error stating that:
Railclone is compiled for Arnold 7.3.1 and is not compatible with current renderer
I know this is usually because RC isn't immediately compatible with the latest Arnold releases, but I tried running the same test with Max 2026 using the same MAXtoA version and it renders normally. Do I need to upgrade my Max version or is this unexpected behavior?
Thanks!

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Max 2025 install disappeared.
« Last post by Geoff K on April 10, 2025, 02:18:21 PM »It looks like somehow 27.0 got removed (25.0, 26.0, and 28.0 are there though). I just tried to re-install Max 2025, but it would not proceed, saying that it is already installed. Do you know how I might be able to get it back? A week or so ago I removed Max 2024 and other associated things using a program called BC Uninstaller. I wonder if that had something to do with it.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing trouble with it. We've run additional tests on multiple configurations here, and everything seems to be working correctly. Could you please double-check your system registry to ensure that the following key corresponding to 3ds Max 2025 is present?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\3dsMax\27.0
Thanks in advance for any further comments you can share about this issue with us or our user community, in case others run into similar troubles.
Best regards,

« Last post by Geoff K on April 09, 2025, 04:32:59 PM »I'm not using Max 2026 yet, but I do have it installed and I just installed the latest versions of ForestPack and RailClone for it. Now iTooSoft products are no longer are available in Max 2025 (but they are in 2026). I uninstalled them and reinstalled the previous versions but they they still aren't showing up.
So I tried re-installing the new versions, this time making sure I installed it for both Max versions. But only Max 2026 is checkable (see attached screenshot). And when I do the same with the previous versions, I cannot specify any Max version at all.

Forest Pro (*) / Smooth transition to ACEScg
« Last post by ritoo on April 08, 2025, 04:28:48 PM »I just wanted to highly recommend this awesome utility:
https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/vray-aces-convert
for bulk processing existing multiple max and mat files to ACEScg standards - works like a charm!
Of course it works with selected objects in the current file as well (including Forest Pack assets).
Must-have tool!
