Forest Pack is one of those plugins that quietly becomes non-negotiable. The instancing engine stays responsive at scales that would grind a scene to a halt otherwise, and the preset library means you can populate a convincing landscape before lunch.
Forest Pack is the most widely used scattering plugin for 3ds Max. It lets you populate scenes with millions of objects — forests, grass fields, gravel, crowds and cityscapes — using a fast instancing engine that keeps viewports responsive even at massive scale.
With area, path and surface distribution modes, powerful falloff maps and a library of ready-made presets, Forest Pack is essential for archviz and environment work. It integrates with all major renderers including V-Ray, Corona and Arnold.
