@Alvin(RL)
Thanks for your answer.
It's now clear for me.:):):) 
I'm building my first scene with the Nature Terrain Generator.......

Hi pinguintje,

Sorry for the late reply  and glad you fixed the problem!

Regarding the default path, RL will set your content installation path to the default path and record it in the system when you install iClone or CC by Reallusion Hub.


When you click "Default" in "Settings" or "Move Location", it will show the path you chose before.
If you didn't change the path during the program installation, it will keep the original path(system drive) as the default path(usually in C drive).

In this case, Nature Terrain Generator doesn't support a free path, if you change the location of this pack, the file does not appear in the "default path", it will cause problems when you using it.
Sorry for the confusion, we will keep improving this in the future.

Best Regards,
Alvin

I love happy ends.:):):)
All's well that ends well.........
I really didn't understand  what a box had to do with it.
But the box is a dummy to move and rotate the Terrain Group.
I have learned a lot of this.



Best Regards,
Arie

Don't you just love happy ends? :)

The early detective work done by Jeff was the key to isolating the problem. :cool::smooooth:

@Gerry
The problem is solved !!! 
I can use the Nature Terrain Generator now. It works great. 
As you wrote the problem was the box.
I had the box (and other 3D blocks) installed in a folder called Base.
Since iClone5 I have all the content that was not in a specific folder installed in an own folder. 
It was never a problem......till now.
I have to repair this. There is work to be done.......



Many, many thanks for all the help from you and the other forum members.

Best Regards,
Arie

Arie,

Looking at the screen shot of your iClone folders it would appear that the Box_001 is not in a default folder.

In the NatureTerrainGenerator.py line 235 is trying to rename the Box_001 that it expects line 234 to load:



The script expects the Box_001 prop to be in the root of the 3D Blocks folder where it is installed by default as shown in my screen shot below:



I don't know how the "Base" folder got added in your 3D Block folder, but it is not there as a default one and the Nature Builder plugin can not load the box prop because it's not where it is supposed to be.

Use Windows Explorer and move, or at least copy, the files from your 3D Blocks > Base folder to the root of the 3D Blocks folder and everything should work as expected. If you don't wish to move the complete contents of the "Base" folder then just copy the Box_001.iProp file to the root and the plugin should be working after that.

Not everyone uses all aspects of iClone ( I know *I* don't).

Under the top menu "Script" first choose "Console Log".  This will give you a tab that will allow you to see exactly what is happening when you run Python.  Then under "Script" just choose "Load Python".  Then the only trick is to know which file to load first and, honestly, I *just* woke up and opened my eyes so I'm not sure which one it is but even a tiny bit of experimentation will show you (or Jeff will chime in here and tell you).

That should show exactly what the problem is.

@Kelleytoons and animagic
8 years working in iClone but I must admit that I have no knowledge of the python script and I have never used it.
How do I run the python script?
I tried this:






I opened python, but I don't see a screen or something else in iClone. 
Job, also thanks for the explanation of the C:/Public/Documents.
And I also have everyting under D:/Bestanden.... etc. and had no problems till now.



@Jeff and Gerry
Thanks for the help. I have checked my "boxes" and they are ok.



But I found something else when I tried to open python.(in Script-the console log.) 



This is what the console log reports when I try to generate a terrain and iClone shows the message "Failed to open. Can't find the file". 
Maybe this explains something. (Unfortunately I don't understand it)

Best Regards,
Arie

Excellent detective work Jeff. :):cool:

I just tried this by renaming the Box_001 file before starting iClone and as soon as I ran the Plugin I was presented with the "File not found" error. Restoring the original file name solved the issue.

Arie should really check the contents of his Props>3D Blocks folder to ensure that this box is there.
