When using forest pro while using octanerender viewport if you change the geometry to something else it crashes out of max.

Yes it is a bug forever. I think it has to do with the import/xref'ing the new geometry ForestPack loads. You have to close the viewport, change geometry and then open the viewport again. This works. On large scenes I hide all stuff except the forest object i work on so the windows opens quickly.

It's quite a large bug, hope they fix it.

Could you please write the steps how to reproduce... Perhaps with scene attached...

Load any preset from forest pro, likee grass across land or something. Then open octanerender viewport. Then try to change the forest pro to a different preset, it will crash out max

Thank you, I've reproduced it.
Already fixed. Will be OK in next version...

I gotta tell you, lately you guys have really been on your game and really impressing us. Great job and you made Version 3 pretty damn solid for production. thank you!

In next version do you mean 3.1 or a newer daily build?

Yes, with the next build.
Our standalone team needs some time to do a couple of critical improvements... I will release as soon as this new SDK is ready.

Awesome, great job!
