Been playing around with streamlining my vegetation workflow. Discovered the forest pro lets you xref files into max so the is no viewport/scene-size problems with lots of geometry. I'm using a simple mix material(diffuse with transparency and a glossy mat.) for most materials. Images are a little noisy, just some wip.
You are in luck my friend! HDRI is from Michael Feuerroth's website, where he gives them away for free

I've used the first one for this scene.

Could you elaborate on this?ronjart wrote:Discovered the forest pro lets you xref files into max so the is no viewport/scene-size problems with lots of geometry.
Are you saying this workflow ignores the texture and geometry count? I'm sure I've misunderstood this comment...
Or are you saying that there are no viewport problems with lots of geometry?
Can you give us an idea of the poly count for this scene?

Sorry for not being more clear. This has nothing to do with the vram on your gfx-card. Just a way of loading in high amounts of high poly objects without slowing down the 3dsMax view-port or increasing the size of the actual .max file.
I just found out (I'm sure I'm not the first one ) how to use Forest Pro's library feature to xref other .max files. The scene only took about 1.3GB of vram on my 4gb gtx 680 (and I had chrome and some other programs running).

Thx for the reply.
Great WIPs by the way!
