Monterey Bay render_polygons example not working? [BUG]

[srdurham]

I am getting an error when running the render_polygons() function. I tried using the code example from www.rayshader.com and I still get the same error: "Error in { : task 1 failed - "argument is not a matrix". I tested plotting the "mont_county_buff" object alone using mapview, and it looks fine, so I think the issue is with render_polygons(), but please let me know if you see something I am doing wrong. Thank you.

Reproducible Example:

#Example code from www.rayshader.com where I get the error.
library(rayshader)
montereybay %>%
  sphere_shade(texture = "desert") %>%
  add_shadow(ray_shade(montereybay,zscale=50)) %>%
  plot_3d(montereybay,water=TRUE, windowsize=c(1000,800), watercolor="dodgerblue")
render_camera(theta=-60,  phi=60, zoom = 0.85, fov=30)

sf::sf_use_s2(FALSE) 
mont_county_buff = sf::st_simplify(sf::st_buffer(monterey_counties_sf,-0.003), dTolerance=0.004)

render_polygons(mont_county_buff,  
                extent = attr(montereybay,"extent"), data_column_top = "ALAND",
                scale_data = 300/(2.6E9), color="chartreuse4",
                parallel=TRUE)


#plotting 'mont_county_buff' with mapview (works fine for me)
mapview::mapview(mont_county_buff)
