    Hedgerow works fine with dense tree ecologies. Here is Dirt Track 2 Hedgerow with Harpwood 3.

    Thanks for the example. Will be good to know what Features will work with which Ecologies.

    I have naivly thought, that all Features work with all Ecologies.

    Dirt Track 2 and Harpwood 4 came out nicely.

    The colors are lovely. I'm fond of those yellow trees. You made a nice scene with it.

    Quick question:

    Does Ultra Scenery, or any instanced type obects respond to Dynamics, Wind in particular?

    Thanks a lot, Barbult.

    I would suggest that unless you're having constant issues running out of memory to just not use the "Restrict instances to camera" settings - leave it at "none" or don't use it until you have settled upon your final composition.

    Hi there - I had a question about "extended licenses" for walk-throughs and such, but it may have slipped through in the traffic. Did you happen to see it? Basically it was just that I don't see the option on the US stuff, and ondered if that meant it was ok to use in a walkthrough ot that it meant that there was no extended license possible.

    No, UltraScenery does not have an extended or interactive license. Mainly because it is in no way optimised for realtime render engines and I don't want to give the impression that it is.

    @DigitalSteam you should be looking at Unreal Engine or Unity 3D like the Flowscape creator did for that.

    Epic games has released virtual forests of trees as free assets, Quixel megascan textures and bits all free to UE4 users in the game engine, only my hardware prevents me from cooking US like scenery into playable demos.

    Even Twinmotion based in UE4 crashes for me  if I try to cook a playable VR.

    Videos and uncooked shadowplay captures I can do.

    Over the past week I have bought several of the add-on packs for Ultrascenery.  I have had two crashes of the plugin this morning, both of them using the "Dirt and Track" and "Heath" scenery.  Here is the log file from running Ultrascenery:

    Below I will attach the screen shots from the setup of the scene, which I used both times.  I also tried a flat landscape with oak woodland and it completed without problems.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

     

    EDIT:

    I ran the script again from a new scene.  This time using the _No Features landscape but with the Heath & Moor 5 again, and this time got the same error but much quicker:

    Dim Reaper you need to update UltaScenery current version is 1.2.0.  The water has its own seperate tab now and we can add masks.

    I wasn't aware of a newer version - one of the downsides of manually downloading and installing the zip files.  I'll download the latest version and try again.

     

    Thank you very much for posting.

     

    EDIT: Yes, that seems to have solved the issue.  Thank you again.

    You are very welcome!

    @Barbult  I did retry Hedgerow with a Dense ecology  I guess maybe I was not picking one dense enough when it was giving me trouble originally. I think I was using one of the row ecologies from TAO.

    Just tested Dirt Track 1 with Hedgerow and Mossy Hollow 2 - it works, too.

    Hello Dawnblade, I have had precisely this issue. Did you find a solution ?

    Unfortunately, no. You can check this thread for some of the suggestions and see if any work for you.

    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, up to now nothing worked. Does DimensionTheory sometimes reads the forums ? It would be good to ask directly.

    Loads of atmposphere.  It reminds me of the Edward Zwick movie "The Last Sumurai" with its almost Ridley Scott level visuals.

    Just bought the Heath & Moor and Wasteland and if you check the extend forest

    then in your scene you'll get some strange trees in the background example: Dirt track 1 and Heath & Moor 2.

    Expand the UltraScene in the scene pane. You will find the extended forest trees in the list with BG in their name, probably near the end of the list of instances. What does that line say? (I'm curious.) It should tell you what kind of trees are being added in the extended forest. You can hide them by turning off visibility with the eye icon, if you don't want them in your scene.

    If you put an "@" in front of a username (except if the name contains spaces) then that user should get notified. I'm not a forum moderator, but since this thread is so long and is about a completely different product, it would be better to do that in a different thread, such as the one I linked to. If you get an answer, you could always let us know by linking to the response here.

    Your "Sunset Duel" render is beautiful. Really like the lighting.

    No, UltraScenery does not have an extended or interactive license. Mainly because it is in no way optimised for realtime render engines and I don't want to give the impression that it is.

    @DigitalSteam you should be looking at Unreal Engine or Unity 3D like the Flowscape creator did for that.

    Epic games has released virtual forests of trees as free assets, Quixel megascan textures and bits all free to UE4 users in the game engine, only my hardware prevents me from cooking US like scenery into playable demos.

    Even Twinmotion based in UE4 crashes for me  if I try to cook a playable VR.

    Videos and uncooked shadowplay captures I can do.

    Yeah - I'd be looking to export scenes, or, more likely, mattes for Unreal.

    Tangy Apple Orchard update is in DIM.

    I built TAO 11 ecology with one of the Hedgerows. I selected Extend Forest, but I didn't get any extended forest trees. Why? (I mean I know why - because the are no offcamera items in the ecology, but why not?) This is the first time I've built an UltraScene that didn't get the extended forest when I selected it.

    TAO 12 has the same issue - no extended forest.

    Perhaps the author expected these to be used with the two dirt track hedgerow features. In any case you could always make a copy of the ecology jason files and add "offcamera": true, to the forest section.

    Yes, of course, I'm a frequent JSON editor. But an ecology should be independent of a feature (i.e. not restricted to hedgerow features), so i was surprised to see that those two ecologies didn't support extended forests.

  • DeeKayDeeKay Posts: 36

    Ah OK, I see your point.

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,584

    I can't think why I would have changed them, either: I normally just leave offcamera=true, cos if you don't want the extension, you can always turn it off.
