Forest, the paid for version, will let you substitute mesh for forest objects but choosing a vray proxy (as the custom mesh) crashes Viz 2007. Does this happen with max also? ....for anyone.

well, since vray proxies and forest crash viz, how does one "Scatter" proxies around like the max "scatter"...Is there a vray script for this?

Yep. It crashes for me too when I try to use a Vray proxy tree with Forest. Instead I just copy a bunch of proxy trees around, use the Planter Blur script, to get them on the terrain at the correct elevation, and then I apply a random rotate script.
sarr = selection as array
count = sarr.count + 1
i = 1
while i < count do
(
select sarr[i]
rotate $ (eulerangles (random 0 0) (random 0 0) (random 0 360))
i += 1

that is one method...for me an ideal method would be to make the forest objects, get them on their terrain and within their boundary, convert to editable mesh and then use that as a scatter object with all the controls of the max scatter...maybe that is too much to ask...i certainly don't know how to do it.

Yeah. It'd be nice to be able to use Forest with proxies. Have you sent an email to Itoo/Carlos? He usually responds quickly.Comment

Carlos is incredibly responsive...i had thought that someone, in the past, had mentioned a vray script for scattering proxies like the max scatter.

well.. there is GroundWiz Planter that works with Vray proxies: http://www.gugila.com/groundwiz_planter.html
There's a Lite edition that may suit your needs.Comment
