Now with light scattering.

Forest Pack 7 is significantly expanding versatility, starting with adding the ability to scatter nearly any type of object. For the first time ever, it is now possible to scatter lights using any of Forest Pack’s powerful distribution modes and randomisation tools.

The new release also adds real-time support with a new beta exporter for Unity alongside support for Chaos Vantage and Unreal Engine via Datasmith. It has an improved feature parity between the existing supported renderers, and now Corona users can benefit from Forest Pack’s invaluable animation modes. API has been updated too, so expect other renderers to follow suit in the future.

There is also a completely rewritten library browser. A highlight of the update is the new one-click add object option for adding the selected assets in a scene to a collection.

Talking of assets, colour correcting materials when they come from different sources just got much easier thanks to new tools that allow you to quickly tweak the hue, saturation and value of entire scatters, and even limit the affected colours based on their hue.

Other new features include an improved distribution reference mode that allows you to scatter multiple items per face, support for gbuffer render passes in V-Ray, improvements to make it easier to add scatter objects to the items list, Solo mode in the modifier panel that keeps only one rollout open at a time, items now align with the z position of a spline plus much more.

In addition to new features, Forest Pack 7 also adds new content. Two completely new libraries are included, bringing the total number to 15 collections, comprising over 430 individual presets and assets.

You can purchase Forest Pack from Evermotion Shop.
