Significant update, but frankly speaking I was expecting *Tree Animation presets*, which is most required, that chaos scatter does not have, Thanks I hope you understand my point of view.

Your plugins are awesome and your tutorials are even awesomer!!
I am blown away by how comprehensive, and easy to understand your tutorial videos are!
Please pay no attention to the naysayers, the rest of us appreciate this quick video and understand there will be more to follow!
Top notch!

I love you guys, but I'd have liked to have heard Paul explain very briefly what each new feature is about, I couldn't read quickly enough and then also *understand* what I'm reading, all whilst the scene is changing.... this video is relying too much on the viewer to take in all this new stuff entirely visually. Please keep these to how you're used to creating them previously. As you can see from the comments of some others, I'm not alone in simply not understanding these new features, what they are trying to do, what the problem is and what they are solving. Even so, I *love* Itoosoftware and both FPP and RailClone :) Keep developing guys :)

Thank you so much for Forest Sets! What a time saver <3

Good update! Is a complete/partial UI redesign on the radar, by any chance? Something node-based along the lines of Railclone would be great, the current UI is problematic with so many rollouts and slow to navigate overall (not Qt-based?), plus it's way too easy to miss which makes editing troublesome, especially when one has to take over a project which someone else had been working on.

Looks great... will there be a more detailed overview?

[Schellicon]

insane update!! Thanks and Congrats!!!

Hi Itoo team. This is a request for Railclone. Could you please add in Arrow display mode for Proxy display (same to forest). I do a lot of scenes with Cars. It is great to make sure they are moving at the right direction without turning on QuickMesh or Mesh. Thank you.

3:21 what is this "Scale near spline" effect? There is no such effect in the effects library though. Can you please share the code if it was made customly?
And another question, is there any information about creating custom effects in "effects editor" from scratch? I mean, it is some kind of machine code or something, do not understand it. Any explanation would be awesome!

Thank you!

I like the plugin. Using it in my exterior renderings with Fstorm renderer. Very useful and quite optimized, at least it was. This version is very unstable. 3ds max crashed several times this morning. Can we expect the fix?
Thank you iToo team!

Looking good, Forest Sets seems like a great idea! Any chance of Edge mode for Boundary Checking getting some love for GPU renderers? Still can't use it in Redshift or FStorm (or perhaps not even V-Ray GPU?) Wouldn't dream of going back to a CPU renderer and it seems to only work for CPU.

[Salamon_Zsolt]

I only have a small request, I know it hard to do it, but... I own a license, however I have two computers so till one is rendering the other one I can work so I can save some time....but the issue is if I run forest pack on one of my computers the other one cant find a license... In this case do I have to purchase two licenses?

[andrewtomilin]

how they made such good animated water? its shader, procedural geometry, or plugin? looks like geometry

Bonjour, je vais regarder ces ajouts qui m'ont l'air bien. Egalement votre musique pour cette vidéo est vraiment sympa et intéressante, est-elle libre de droit ? Serait-il possible de l'utiliser pour une présentation projet ?

Merci,

Thomas

[zachchio]

Good day sir. I downloaded the Rainclone lite on your website. how to fix this error "we can't verify the download". thank you.

[muratklcoglu]

It looks cool but I haven't watched a video in my life that I understand nothing like that! We stare at each other with Foresetset and Forest Icons right now... I mean really what does Foresetset do exactly?

[burakisik]

I don't really understand what you meant. We were already able to do this. Does "FPSet" provide any scene optimization or stabilization?

[nsevv]

Good stuff, but too expensive, for a plugin one use only occasionally in a year.
