[Max] I need help! / Re: Chaos Scatter not working properly (with Translation, Z Axis)

« Last post by maru on 2025-05-09, 18:13:41 »

I was able to reproduce it and logged it for the developers as (Report ID=SCATTER-206). It definitely looks like a bug. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any workaround, sorry.

Thanks, I was looking out for this too.
Everytime I wanted to re render an area with region everything goes black.
Hope this could be integrated soon.

[Max] I need help! / Chaos Scatter not working properly (with Translation, Z Axis)

I want to distribute the elements on the Z axis so that they are between 200 and 400 cm high, for example. When I exceed 214 cm, it no longer works well. It's confusing me.

It would be good to check with the latest Corona version to see if problem persists. if it does, feel free to start a ticket with us and we can investigate it further.

After some more digging I found the following bugfix in the latest Forest Pack.

Forest Pack 9.2.2 // Fixed accumulative performance issue in large Forest objects, when rendering interactively multiple times.

Since there are multiple heavy Forest objects in the scene they may the culprit. I am updating and will report back my findings.

[Max] I need help! / Stuck in Geometry Phase

« Last post by hurrycat on 2025-05-09, 14:16:36 »

I am running IR and after moving some geometry (randomly, not specific objects) the VFB gets stuck on the Geometry phase which seems to go up indefinitely. Stopping the IR causes Max to freeze and requires force close.

It probably has to do with some specific geometry in the scene but I thought I'd share the problem in case someone has faced something similar.

Also, why does the Geometry phase need to finish so that you can stop IR? Stopping IR while calculating geometry is something that has been requested from 2018-2019, from wht I found on the forums.

Yes this is what I did.

There should be no need to d&d it, if you already have the file in your "usermacros" directory. If you have that directory configured in "Customize -> Configure User and System paths -> Additional Macros", it will be evaluated at 3ds max startup. So just delete the old button, close max (by default, UI is saved when closing max), start it up and go to "Customize User Interface" -> "Toolbars" to add the icon to some toolbar.


Good Luck
