« Last post by TomG on Today at 18:03:29 »You are welcome! The support team can dig into the scene once they have a copy, to see what is going on (something they wouldn't be able to diagnose without the scene itself, in a case like this).

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Are people starting to ditch Forest Pack for Chaos Scatter?
« Last post by TomG on Today at 18:01:20 »I dont think so, chaos scatter lacks many tools, too bad developers don't listen carefully or development is very slow.
Neither :) It's that Scatter is not, and has never been, seen as a way to "replace" Forest Pack. The intention is pretty much what people describe above - to give, for free, a tool that works in a great many cases, so that many people don't need anything else and can also have a simplified workflow; and when extra control is needed then there are indeed third party plugins. Of course, we do keep enhancing what Scatter can do, but it still is not seen as "one day it will replace..." in terms of its aims, goals, and direction. That would likely be a fairly futile exercise given that the developers of third party tools are companies and development teams dedicated specifically to "software that arranges objects" and they do not also have to develop a render engine :) So they can always push things one step ahead.

No, this should be working fine.
For any licensing or payment-related issues, please contact our support team at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Is it not allowed anymore to have multiple instances of Max opened and accessing the GUI-license with one machine, is it now restricted to the instance of max?
No, this should be working fine.

« Last post by TomG on Today at 12:53:50 »I'd say best bet is to archive the scene with assets and send it in, via ticket will keep that private to the support team (https://support.chaos.com/requests/new ) as there is clearly something wrong somewhere in that scene.
