Forest pack issue?

[nicola_barbano]

Hi!
Not sure it's an issue with FP or a limit of my set, I have an 3080 RTX and 128 RAM.
When I import my scene I lose a lot of vegetation (on the balconies of the tower, they are just in the first 10 and above they disappear), but in Max it's all ok even if I render it. But in Vantage not.

Please check my two attachments.
Any helps?

Thank you
Nico

Make sure you've enabled opacity in Vantage (leaf icon in the top left). Some Forest Pack features like Edge mode are implemented through opacity.

Hi!
Thank you for replying me.

Yes this is ON and the plants models are from Cosmos. I'm using the latest Vantage version 1.5.3.
It seems it's missing the scattering, but I don't understand why since in Max all is fine...this is why I thought it could be maybe some limit of my GC.

It looks like the missing plants are instances of the same plants we see visible in Vantage. Instances do not require significant additional memory, so I doubt this could be the cause.

Does this render correctly with V-Ray? We may need a scene file to investigate, if you could share one (can be a small part of your actual scene if it still reproduces the issue).

Yes, in VRay (latest version VRay5 up2.1) all is perfect. Finished my renders I was testing Vantage, but it appears this problem. I've also tried to export the scene with both .vrscene exporter and the proper Vantage button (send the scene), but nothing change.
Let me clean the scene and I will send you the files.

Thank you

PS. the plants are just three different bushes scattered randomly on all balconies, nothing special.

Hi Nico,

You have enabled Limit to visibility option in the Forest:



This way all forest elements outside of the camera frustum from which the vrscene is generated will not be exported. If you disable this all will be exported and everything will look correct in Vantage.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Oh! I didn't know that since in Max all was ok. Now it works!

Thank you for letting me know so fast!
