Forest pack Crashing with Vray2.0

[philip kelly]

If I hit the materials tap, it gives me a message Forest pack not compatable and freezes the programe and i have to force quit.

Are there any other plugins that will cause Vray 2.0 to crash, as i am having an issue with Max 2011 crashing out halfway throught splash screen set up.
The last thing it is flicking through is the plugins folder.


Anybody else found this.

I presume i just go in and delete the plugin?

Thank you

Are you using the latest version of Forest Pack (3.4)? Only that version supports Vray 2.0...

[philip kelly]

No I am not.
I will try it, but do you have any idea why max would crash out at the start up screen.
If I start up using a different profile it works fine, so there is something in there that is crashing it.
Thank you again.

It crashes because the Material Editor tries to open Forest Material, which is part of Forest Pack. You must upgrade to Forest 3.4, that supports VRay 2.0.

A bit of pitty when you find out half way through a scene and it freezes the model and leaves you screwed would you not agree.
Should be made clear to people incase the loose work.

Is there anything else that will crashes out max with Vray ?

Half way through a scene? I thought you said it crashed at the startup screen?

Take a deep breathe, install the latest Forest 3.4 and all will be fine.

Crashing at the start is another problem.
There is somethingin there crashing it.
But thanks for the concern.

I will install the new one.
I do appreciate the free version.

Thank you .
