Forest Pack Effects in the New Version 5

iToo Software have released a new tips and tricks episode that introduces Forest Effects, a feature introduced in Forest Pack 5 that allows users to extend the functionality of Forest Pack using expressions. In this tutorial they focus on the fundamentals, including using the bundled samples as well as how to import, organise and use effects from 3rd parties.

Here’s what the good people at iToo have had to say about the new feature :

“In Forest Pack 5 we released a brand new feature called Forest Effects. This allows you to extend the existing features of Forest Pack by adding new functionality from a library, importing them from individual files, or creating your own using expressions. Forest Pack 5 also includes a number of examples of effects that could be useful for your work and can act springboard to help you to learn to write your own.”

“When we created Forest Effects we envisaged two types of user. Effects Users who would download, install and use existing effects created by iToo or other artists. And Effects Authors who would create and use their own effects and hopefully share them within the studio and the wider online community. In this introductory tutorial we’ll focus on the former, and demonstrate how effects are imported and used, including an overview of the built in effects, how to run 3rd party effects and how to install effects files to the library for easy access and re-use.”

Included in the downloads for this tutorial are 10 new effects, including:

  • Bend by exclude area
  • Change tint colour by altitude
  • Change items by altitude
  • Change items by distance to boundary
  • Animate frames by distance to object
  • Animate frames by distance to boundary (exclude)
  • Animation frames by distance to boundary (Include)

    Forest Pack is the world’s most popular scattering plugin for 3ds Max®.
    It provides a complete solution for creating vast areas of objects,
    from trees and plants to buildings, crowds, aggregates, ground-cover,
    rocks and more. If you can model it, Forest Pack can scatter it.
