Scatters not working correctly

D5 Render Version: 2.11.0.0603
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070
Driver Version: 32.0.15.8088
Issue Description: I have been experiencing a lot of issues with the d5 scatters lately! Especially after regeneration. I have been creating studio presets to easy my workflow however when I try to apply the scatter preset nothing happens and no vegetation shows up. And once the scatter stops working for a specific material it seems that even the image divide option for scatter generation stops to work. How can I resolve this issue without having to create a new material everytime I am trying to regenerate a scatter?

Hi @it12

Please try to update to 2.11.1.0620 since there were some scatter issues that are evident in the base version of 2.11 which has been resolved in the latest hotfix version.

The upgrade still hasn’t resolved my issue.
As shown in the attached screenshot, the tool does not display the surface division (which is supposed to appear on the green material) even though the scatter highlights are enabled.

In other areas of the model, the scatters currently work as expected; however, those that were generated at the beginning of setting up the D5 file cannot be regenerated for some reason.

With further testing to determine how to make the scatters work, I’ve discovered an additional issue.


As shown in the second screenshot, the scatter only functions outside the building perimeter, even though no culling effects have been applied.

Hi @it12

This new file seems to have a more prominent scatter issue, may we also collect it?

Sure! Could you tell me the best way to send the file to you and whether you just need the D5 file?

Hi @it12

Please send it to support@d5techs.com and have it titled Clov-Forum Scatter not working correctly. Let me know if you have sent it already.

Both the scene file and log file would be really helpful.

Hello! The requested files have been send to support@d5techs.com. Thank you for the support!

Hi @it12

I just opened your file. There seems to be an issue with the surfaces near the balcony, where you’re planning to put scatter.

  • Have you tried flipping the normal face of these surfaces?
  • Can you send us the 3d Model file of this building? The 3d Model of the building should suffice, the surrounding enviornment can be removed in the file we are requesting.
