Forest Pack 8.2.2 released
iToo Software has announced an updated version of Forest Pack 8. Version 8.2.2 includes improvements to ForestSet and the library browser, alongside numerous other changes based on user feedback.
One of the main changes is the ability to use ForestSet for Forest areas. This functionality allows for the creation of an easily updatable container of scatters that can be nested inside other Forest Objects to exclude items. Moreover, the functionality of Object areas using ForestSet has been optimized. Instead of constructing a large area using the geometry of all objects in the set, separate areas are now internally created per object. This change results in significantly improved accuracy over larger areas.
The Library Browser has also received new features. It now supports ForestLOD and ForestSet, enabling users to create presets with these functions and save them for future convenience. To use this, users are required to save the library scene with Forest 8.2.2 or a later version.
Other improvements include more control over naming when importing objects from the library, better V-Ray compatibility, and more.

What it needs the most is an update to the interface. Would be great if they could move it to a railclone type interface.
With all my respect, I would disagree with that. Current way is perfectly fine. I agree that node UI is awesome in things like Railclone, GrowFX, the material editor but wouldn’t be most comfortable everywhere… in my opinion 🙂
