Benefits

ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION Forest Pack offers unprecedented power, speed, and flexibility to create landscapes that look great and render fast. Create scenes that can be viewed from any angle and minimize the need for time-consuming post-production.	VISUAL EFFECTS Forest Pack has unrivalled animation features. Use animated meshes and proxies then randomize their time offset, or drive playback using maps to provide even more ways to create jaw-dropping VFX for film, animation, TV, and motion graphics projects.	AEC Forest Pack fits perfectly into interactive design processes. Scatters are fully parametric so making changes is fast and easy – which means less time spent updating scenes, and more time spent designing.

• SCATTERING PERFECTED – Forest Pack is fully multi-threaded and highly optimized for speed and efficiency. A typical scene can effortlessly use over 100.000 objects each with 1 million polys, and render in just a few minutes.
• INTERACTIVE – Points-Cloud display mode faithfully previews scattered objects in the viewports as they will appear in the render. Amazingly fast, this mode allows you to move and edit items in real-time, while maintaining an accurate preview of your scenes.
• PARAMETRIC AREAS – From the moment you pick a scatter area Forest Pack is fully parametric. With no destructive editing you make design decisions at any time, and see the results in the viewport instantly.
• NATURAL – Recreate the limitless variation found in nature with the ability to randomise distribution, objects, transforms, animation, bitmaps and tints. Mimic natural growth patterns using the innovative Clusters feature.
• PRECISE – Maps Control when you need it. Drive parameters using maps and expressions or use Tree Editor mode to scatter along splines, on markers or even edit and place individual objects.
• READY TO USE – Use Forest Pack’s built-in Library Browser to select and assign plants with a single click. Over 100 models are included in Forest Pack Pro, or you can create your own presets and share them effortlessly with colleagues.
• FREE LIBRARY OF OVER 430 ASSETS – Hundreds of ready-to-use high-quality models and presets including trees, shrubs, grass, green walls, mulch, gravel, flowers, rocks, leaves, hedges, stumps and much more!

Features

• SUPPORTED AREAS – Forest Pack fits into existing pipelines with the widest support of any plugin for defining a scatter area, including splines, surfaces, PFlow objects, markers, objects, and paint areas. You can even even exclude objects using another Forest Pack area to create sophisticated and layered interdependencies.
• DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS – Use one of the 35+ built in distribution patterns of create your own custom patterns using procedural maps or images. Group together plants into naturalistic growth patterns automatically, or use a custom color maps. Use fast collision detection to prevent objects from overlapping and see the results in real time.
• ITEM EDITOR MODE – Refine compositions using the manual editor mode by modifying individual scattered items without any loss of rendering efficiency. Select or create single or groups of objects, swap models, rotate or translate to get the perfect render. Convert scatters to native instances to make the scene easier to share or for export to other applications.
• ANIMATION – Scatter animated objects while retaining significant memory efficiency. Sync animations or use one of 3 powerful modes to randomize animation and control the offset or set the current frame using maps. If these options don’t suit your needs you can even create your own custom animation modes using Forest Effects!

• SUPPORTED ITEMS – If you can create it you can scatter it. Forest Pack can use nearly any object including geometry, lights, splines, groups, proxies, parametric tools like RailClone and GrowFX, animated geometry and much more.
• LIBRARY AND PRESETS – Set up scatters in an instant by importing geometry using Forest Pack’s built-in library browser. Import individual models and build your own scatter or import entire pre-built presets. You can even use many libraries from popular 3rd party vendors.
