Forest Pack 7.4.0

Tags:

We've just released stable builds of Forest Pack and RailClone, as well as our free plugins, that are compatible with 3ds Max 2023.

caution

Users with floating licenses will need to update their license server to use Forest Pack 7. Please download and install the Itoo Software License Server v1.5 or above, available now from your User Panel.

New Features​

  • Added support for 3DS Max 2023.

  • Added support for Arnold 7.1 (MaxToA 5.2 and greater).

    note

    Previous Arnold versions are no longer supported. You can upgrade to the latest release from here (Arnold for 3DS Max)

  • For 3DS Max 2022 and above, Forest Pack is now installed at C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins, using the latest package format for plugins.

    • The target folder for 3DS Max 2022 and above can be customized in the installer.
    • Support for silent installation to render nodes has been added. (/S in the command line).
    • The Installer detects if 3DS Max is running and can close it

  • Added support to Corona Physical in Optimize Materials.

  • New field for Forest Lister: Stats. It shows the Forest build time.

    • By default this field is hidden. You must add it from the Lister configuration.

  • Added support for regular expressions to Distribution->"Reference Objects"->"Match by Geometry Name".

    • Geometry->Name is used as regular expression, and reference object name as an input.
    • The match must be complete, not only for a part of the expression. For example, 'teapot001' matches with 'teapot.*', but not with 'teapot'.

  • Distribution Map Channel is always set to 1 for new FP objects (previously it would inherit value of other FP objects in the scene).

Fixes​

  • Removed double-click behaviour for Forest Lister->Name field (which should allow rename), because it was not working well. Now it just selects the object.
  • Fixed rare crash getting internal statistics.
  • Fixed: Forest Color no longer working on non Forest objects.
  • Fixed Edge Mode on Exclude splines when Distribution Map is rotated.
  • Fixed: Forest Tools->"Enable before Start" doesn't work as intended.
