Forest Pro (*) / Re: Vray Displacement not working..

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on August 20, 2025, 01:32:43 pm »Hi,
It may be related to the position of the Forest object. I’d suggest placing the Forest gizmo at the center of 3ds Max’s world coordinates and using World XYZ mapping. I hope that helps.

Forest Pro (*) / Can i use Noise Maps for distribution?
« Last post by Nintenjo on August 20, 2025, 01:23:05 pm »I would like to use some noise maps blended together with gradients to control where my FP scatters. However i am having an issue where my map and my scatter objects dont seem to line up.
In this basic test you can see some noise i have color corrected and used as my distribution map on a sphere. I am using the same noise in the diffuse channel of my material but the scatter and the noise dont line up. Am i missing a setting or step to have them align? It looks like the scattering is using the map but not how its mapped?

Would a OSL triplanar mapping node work instead?
I could consider using UV's but then i need a way to blend it together for seemless texture / tiling.

I’m sorry to hear you’re running into issues. Please avoid using the VRayTriplanarTex map — once it’s removed and the surface is remapped, everything should work fine. I hope this helps.
Best regards,
This dosnt really help since my entirely landscape is mapped using triplanar mapping, is it a bug that i cant use it or simply not supported as it kind of puts a hard stop on this entire workflow i am trying to achieve.
