Forest Pack is a plugin for Autodesk 3ds Max, and Autodesk 3ds Max Design, designed to give a complete solution for creation of vast surfaces of trees and plants. Forest enables you to combine billboards, high poly meshes and proxies, and using Mental Ray and VRay native shaders, create scenes with virtually unlimited number of objects and polygons.
1) Forest Pack is optimized for speed. It can create more than 500,000 trees per second at viewport, modify any parameter and rebuild them in real-time.
Render is accelerated using native shaders for Mental Ray and VRay. A typical scene may include 100.000 trees of 1 million of polys each one, and render just in a few minutes.
2) Forest can create automatically clusters of plants, grouping vegetation of same type in a similar way that plants are found in the nature. Futhermore, you can use your own custom map to define what type of element must be planted in each area, using colors as reference.
3) To minimize resource utilization, tree distribution can be restricted to the camera’s field of view. This enables the user to create a fly by of a forest of virtually millions of trees, without wasting scene resources on trees that are out outside the edge of the frame.
4) Trees are created from an editable geometry list, combining textured planar objects, custom meshes or proxies in a same forest object.
Billboards have special support, including optimized material shaders and Fake Shadows.
5) Forest Pack Pro includes more than 100 maps of trees and shrubs especially created for use with the plugin.
Forest includes a Library Browser, to select and assign the plants with a single click. The library may be modified by the user, to include new types of geometries, materials and icons.
* Custom Edit mode enables you not only to create automatic distributions, but also add, place or edit trees manually using the Creation Tools.
* Automatic distribution of trees over any surface (irregular terrains, etc.). You can limit the elements in a surface by ranges of altitude and slope.
* Random transformation of position, rotation, scale and… color!. Add more variation to your scene without incrementing the number of materials.
* Animation support, including multiple random samples.

doesnt work in 3ds max 2009 x64 Windows 7 x64 Bits, say error at the moment when i try to run the program
maybe need fixed the crack
but thank you for upload the program
this is only for 3ds max 2010 and 2011 64Bits. I downloaded this long time ago from gfxworld and I tried it with 3ds max 2008 both 32 and 64 bits, 3ds max 2010 32 bits and never worked until I tried 3ds max 2010 64 bits and now 3ds max 2011 64 bits. remember that itoo forest pack has a different .dlo file for every version of 3ds max. it is imposible that one .dlo can be used for all versions of 3ds max
bad news
is there somebody here who s able to fix this ?
there is no bug or fix issue. the .dlo crack it is obly for 3ds max 2010 and 2011 64 bits only
Installed on Max 2010 x64 working very good . thx
thank you for explain wick08, perhaps mr Asmodeus forgot mention what kind maxs version works forest pro 3.3
Im sure forest pack 3.3 works ine with every version of 3ds max , but the .dlo crack left here it´s only for 3ds max 2010 and 2011 64bits only
Hey It needs a license code for the instalation. Where is the code?
Just click “cancel” or “close” or whatever it is to click and close that window and then copy/replace the forestpackpro.dlo in 3ds max plugin folder and that´s it. remember , it only works in 3ds max 2010 or 2011 64 bits
so nobody here able to crack 2008 version ?
rapidshare for 32 bit plizzzzz
Thanks for sharing Asmodeus, but the version for Max 2010 32bit is giving me an error (plugin not loading)
DLL forestpackpro.dlo failed to initialize. It’s an error code 193 – %1 is not a valid win32 application
