Forest Pack Pro 3.3.3 beta
« on: July 03, 2010, 03:48:47 PM »
Note 1: This release includes multiple fixes for network licensing. These changes require the latest version of the Licenser Server (1.09). Be sure to upgrade it before installing the plugin. You can download the server software from User Panel->My Products.

Note 2: Beta versions include new features and fixes, but a beta version is NOT the final version of the product and therefore we not guarantee an absence of errors that may disrupt the computer's operation and/or result in data loss. Use it always at your own risk.


Forest Pack Pro 3.3.3b

- Solved crashing bug with lost XRef references
- Clear exclude button and Random translation work properly
- All items that don't intersect with a surface are discarded
- Fixed issues with transparent and wireframe modes


Forest Pack Pro 3.3.2b

- Nesting level is considered when evaluating the area splines. Nested include splines are used as exclusion zones and viceversa
- Boundary checking is done using the item's width and its collision radius, not only the pivot point as before
- License errors don't longer clear the items in Custom Edit mode

Surface

- Multiple surfaces support
- In absence of area splines, the surfaces are used as scattering areas
- Density and scale falloff curves by altitude. The curve is applied in the range defined by the Top and Bottom paramerters (X=0 is Bottom, X=1 is Top)
- Altitude for limits and falloff is computed in Forest local coordinates, instead Surface coords. This mode is more suitable when multiple surfaces are used
- Overlapping of items at different heights is allowed in Generate mode (using multiple surfaces only)
- All "Get UVW form Surface" parameters have been removed. To disable UVW mapping from surface, set map channel to 0
- Fixed updating issues with animated surfaces
      
Display

- Improved redrawing speed
- Added parameter to adjust items opacity
- Added Wireframe display mode
- New proxy models: Thin Box and Plant
      
Network licensing
 (License Server 1.09 required)
   
- Fixed winsocks 10060 error and server random hangup
- Added support for routed WAN and VPN connections
- Added support for lost connection recovery
- Improved response time and protocol latency
- Logs uses computer's local timezone instead GMT
