Foreset Pack Distribution integration - Rokas - 11-24-2020
Hi
How could we use tyFlow as Forest Pack distribution ?
I have enabled legacy Interface mode but that is not enough. Forest Pack picks up the tyFlow object, but nothing happens.

Illustration. For reference Autodesk Particle Flow works as expected.
Is there anything to be modified in iToo Forest Pack to enable this feature ?

You'd have to contact the FP devs about this. tyFlow exposes the regular particle interface with no real caveats, so if FP isn't using it then it's a problem on their end.

Hi again, why tyflow reports 0 particles when using regular particle interface:

I don't know if that is the same issue why ForestPack does not work but anyway, I'd say some incompatibility between interfaces.

Did you forget to call UpdateParticles, as explained in the docs?

obviously YES, i just used internal showinterfaces command to get info.
Thank You ! At least for now.
Greetings, and stay safe!

By the way I forgot to mention earlier, in case you didn't do it already...in order for tyFlow to expose its particle interface, you need to enable the particle interface in the Interfaces rollout of the tyFlow object. Perhaps that's why FP was not able to recognize it.
