Forest Pack Pro 9.0.3 beta

(1/1)

iToo:
Note 1: Beta versions include new features and fixes, but a beta version is NOT the final version of the product and therefore we don't guarantee there won't be errors that may disrupt the computer's operation and/or result in data loss. Always use it at your own risk.

Note 2: If you use RailClone Pro beta, please be sure to install the latest update as well. Forest and RailClone share several library files, which must be in the same version.

Note 3: While the beta, we may introduce changes that modify randomization of ForestIvy, in scenes created with previous builds. Once the software is released as stable, this should not happen anymore.
