Not sure if this is known, and it might be a problem for iToosoft to solve, but whenever I activate IR, either as floating or viewport, the forest renders fine but the entire forest disappears from my viewports. Not just invisible but the object itself isn't in the scene explorer. Somehow it's being hidden.
Cheers,
On 1.3. max 2016 sp1.

I think I can confirm this. It looks like the objects get hidden while rendering to conserve memory so it would mean that Itoo Forest is not compatible for Corona's IR. I am not sure, though.

The forest object does render fine in the IR itself, here. It just gets hidden in the viewport while it's active. Fingers crossed you/iToo can find a solution. IR is indespensible, as is FPP :)

yup, same here
-
I wonder if actually this might have something to do with the other FPP bug where after rendering the viewport is filled with the average colour of the FPP in the viewport. e.g. if you have load of trees that are green tone, when you cancel or finish a render the viewports are filled with that colour. As far as I'm aware iToosoft are on the case with that one, so perhaps it's related somehow.
-
I've recently experienced the same issue with the latest version of Forest Pack. It's really annoying... Has anyone of you found a solution??
-
Have the same problem with FPP v5, but with FPP v4 everything is ok. If someone else can test also with older version of FPP to check if its a problem only in v5.
-
Yes, exactly! Only with FP 5, I can't really understand how to solve.
-
Testing with Corona version 1.5.2 and FPP 4.4.1 - It happens as well that the viewport scatter turns to little orange crosses (unselectable though).
To re-select and edit the FPPs in the scene I can only work with the object selection dialog unfortunately.
Would be lovely to see this sorted (by either Itoo or you :)
Cheers, thanks!

We have the same problem here. The forestpack object disappears in the viewport whilst an IR is running. It reappears as soon as you stop the IR.
Corona 1.5.2 and Forest Pro 5.2.0
Personally I'm using Corona scatter as its simpler and easier, plus the viewport gizmo makes selecting the scatter much much easier (always hated how hard it is to select a forestpack object). But for new Corona users here, the first thing they reach for is Forestpack so its a shame its not working right.

Is there any update on this? Getting things right in the viewport, is slightly faster than IR so it's a bit of a pain for it to disappear in the viewport...
-
+1 to my own post, under an old account :)
-
Still no reply from the devs? An indication that this has been at least noticed, or logged would at least be a start.
This is something I have to annoyingly deal with on a daily basis...
-
I posted on this on the itoo forum. Let's hope they fix it asap.
-
we know about this... it will require some rewriting in best case (1.8), or a LOT of rewriting in worst case.

Same problem with FP and Vray 3.6
May be this problem only in FP?//

Hi,
Same problem here with Corona 1.7 and MAX2018, when i start the IR the forest object disappear in the viewport, that's quite annoying... No solutions at this time ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, this is a known bug. If I am not mistaken Itoo is looking for a solution. But to be sure about that, do a search on the forum. I cannot remember in which post this was mentioned.

Any updates on this one chaps?
-
Bump on this one. It would be really handy if possible.

While you are at it, how about letting us see the selection bracket inviewport while in IR too.

I just tested this with Corona 3 and Forest Pro 6.1.2 (Black Pine from starter pack) and it seems that:
-the point cloud objects are still visible in viewport when using IR
-the selection brackets are visible
Looks like it's either fixed, or I will need help reproducing it.
Update: when using IR in floating window, the objects disappear (but the bracket is still visible). We will investigate...

This is fixed in the newest version of Forest Pack (6.1.5).
We are aware of some other minor issues, and we are in touch with iToo about them.
-
i haven't seen any improvement in this regard. FPP objects simply dissapear when rendering in IR mode
going in the scene explorer and selecting the FPP object there works though, but changing anything is very unstable and not suggested
Don't expect a fix for this.. just work around...

Hey,
I'd recommend starting a new thread for this. Please include the Corona + Forest versions a simple scene and some reproduction steps.
Cheers,
