Viewing Pro auth scene with Lite version?

[Morne]

Can we open and view a scene with FP/RC Lite, if the scene was authoried with Pro?
We dont need to adjust anything or render, just view current objects in scene...

Hi Morne,

I'm afraid that if the scene uses some of the Pro version features (for example, more than three types of plants per object, more than four areas per object, or scattering over uneven surfaces, etc.), it will not be shown/rendered properly. You can find the full list of locked features for the Lite version in our Forest Pack's online reference guide.

Instead, you can take advantage of a powerful feature in Forest Pack Pro called Forest Tools, which allows you to export your scattered geometry as instances. You can find it under the Utilities panel by navigating to More... > Forest Tools. This tool offers a variety of options for managing your instances after converting them. For example, moving all instances to a new layer can be very useful. By doing this, you'll be able to use the scene on computers that don't have our plugin installed.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

[Morne]

It would be great if we can get a "view" only version of the plugins.
We have people doing animation and camera work only, and they dont need to adjust FP objects, just see them in viewport
Exporting assets as instances is not viable as that adds extra steps instead of making life easier
