Itoo Software has released the latest version of its set of plugins for creating large extensions of trees and vegetation. Highlights include:
- Density/Scale falloff and Boundary Checking for Surface areas (without creating an auxiliary spline).
- Added Surface->Randomize Stacked. Allow to randomize items that are aligned on the same XY position, along stacked surfaces.
- Added right-menu selector for Custom Objects, Surfaces and Areas.
- Added Display->Update All. Rebuilds all Forest objects.
- Added RGB Level for diffuse maps to Material Optimizer.
- Added support for V-Ray 3.0 beta.
- Added support for V-Ray 1.5 in Max 2013.
- Added Max 2014 to the installer.
- Forest Tools assigns Object ID from the Forest object to the instances.
Library
- Added Preset materials for Octane and Thea Render.
- Added support for Laubwerk Plants catalog add-on (to be released soon).
- Presets now can use library materials. Each material of the preset is replaced by a material from the library with same name.
- The templates layer now keeps a single copy for each plant model. Scenes created with previous versions (from 4.0), are automatically optimized when saved with Forest 4.1.
- Added support for labels and thumbnails at library level.
The update is free for current owners of the plugin. A Lite version is also available for download. More on Itoo Software’s forum.
