ETA Forest Pro 9 Beta and 3ds Max 2025

[bzubrick]

Just wondering if there is an ETA on the Forest Pro 9 Beta or if you plan to make Forest Pro 8 compatible with 3ds Max 2025?

I apologize fo the delay. Forest 9 was almost ready, but we had to add support for Max 2025, and that triggered new problems which must be solved.
We are actively working on that, but we cannot give an ETA until these issues are addressed.

We have not plans for a Forest 8 for Max 2025. Because FP9 includes many changes which are not in the FP8 code.
That would require double work, delaying more the release.

Thanks for info. I am very much looking forward to the new FP. Probably most of all new Ivy. But I'll be surprised :-)

is there a roadmap for FP9 or some notes on what to expect?

We usually don't share release notes until everything is ready. It would be changes in the last minute.

But i can confirm it will include a new Ivy plugin, which was shown in our latest QA.

Is there a nightly version we can use for 2025 until the final stable version is out?  Thanks!
