The popular scattering solution for 3ds Max gets a huge update with Forest Pack 8.
On this new version, itoo software added Forest sets. A collection of objects for easily populate your forest packs with existing collections of elements. You can as well use dynamically layers in 3dsMax, where your collection will be populated automatically with any element existing inside this layer.
There is the possibility to link to areas and surfaces used in another forest pack object. This way you don’t need to assign a spline multiple times across multiple forest packs.
