IToo Software Forest Pack is the world’s most popular scattering plugin for 3ds Max®. To see a full list, visit the online release notes. There are many more small improvements and fixes, including the removal of the automatic creation of billboards from the forest_templates layer, the reintroduction of the camera parameter for manually selecting cameras, support for importing non-geometric objects from the library browser, and more. You’ll know if you need to upgrade because Forest will let you know with a warning message. Previous Arnold versions are no longer supported so make sure you upgrade to the latest release from the Arnold website. This release stays on the cutting edge with compatibility for Arnold 7. This feature does require V-Ray 5.2 or greater though, so make sure you’re up to date! Arnold Compatibility This also means that the colour of lights can now be randomized using Forest Colour or V-Ray’s own maps. Scattering lights is now much more efficient thanks to version 7.3’s ability to use native V-Ray instancing. This means that you can now add volumetric effects to Forest Pack’s expanding list of objects that can be scattered – alongside existing support for geometry, lights, splines, and several other types of non-geometric objects. Support for Scattering VRayVolumeGrid Objectsįorest Pack now supports VRayVolumeGrid objects. This gives you complete control over which models you want on each reference object. In the latest version, you now have an option to match the geometry to the marker by name. In previous versions, when using markers a random object from the items list would be applied. The second big improvement makes it much easier to assign specific geometry to reference objects. Ability to Match Geometry to Markers by Name Of course, if you prefer the old behaviour, you can simply switch between them using the new Keep Group Hierarchy option in the Geometry rollout. In the latest version, the whole group is now considered as a single object. In previous versions when using groups with random transforms, surface conforms, areas, or camera clipping then each member of that group was processed individually. New features include completely rewritten group support, the ability to match geometry to markers by name, support for scattering VRayVolumeGrid objects and much more. IToo Software has released Forest Pack v7.3.
