Forest Pack 是 Autodesk 3ds Max 和 3ds Max Design 的外掛程式，設計用來提供創造廣闊表面的樹木與植物的完整解決方案。
它提供了一個全方位的解決方案，用於產生大範圍的各種對象，從植物和岩石到建築物、人群等等。如果您可以在 3ds Max 中設計它，Forest Pack 可以為您分散它。許多工作室依靠 Forest Pack 經過驗證的演算法和本機著色器來渲染充滿幾乎無限數量的物件和多邊形的場景，而不會使電腦資源負擔過重。
該插件可讓您模擬自然分佈模式並透過其高級映射和隨機化功能優化資產的使用。您還可以對插件的各個方面進行細緻的控制，以微調您的分散效果。 Forest Pack 使您能夠不受限制地進行創作，從而提高渲染品質。
FAST
ForestPack is fully multi-threaded and highly optimized for speed and efficiency. A typical scene can effortlessly use over 100.000 objects each with 1 million polys, and render in just a few minutes.
INTERACTIVE
Points-Cloud display mode faithfully previews scattered objects in the viewports as they will appear in the render. Amazingly fast, this mode allows you to move and edit items in real-time, while maintaining an accurate preview of your scenes.
PARAMETRIC AREAS
From the moment you pick a scatter area ForestPack is fully parametric. With no destructive editing you make design decisions at any time, and see the results in the viewport instantly.
NATURAL
Recreate the limitless variation found in nature with the ability to randomise distribution, objects, transforms, animation, bitmaps and tints. Mimic natural growth patterns using the innovative Clusters feature.
PRECISE
Maps Control when you need it. Drive parameters using maps and expressions or use Tree Editor mode to scatter along splines, on markers or even edit and place individual objects.
READY TO USE
Use ForestPack's built-in Library Browser to select and assign plants with a single click. Over 100 models are included in ForestPack Pro, or you can create your own presets and share them effortlessly with colleagues.
