Forest Pack Bridge — Bring models into Forest directly from Project/Models Manager

Smart selection behavior

• If your current selection is a Forest object, imported items are added to that object.

• If your current selection is not a Forest object, the script creates a new Forest object and offers your currently selected scene objects as distribution surfaces.

• If nothing suitable is selected, you’ll be prompted to pick surfaces/splines.

What it does

• Imports the chosen models from Project Manager directly into your scene.

• Creates a new Forest object if the current selection is not a Forest, otherwise adds the assets to the selected Forest.

• Adds the imported models to the Forest object’s Geometry list.

• Optionally assigns your selected surfaces/splines to the Forest object’s Surface/Areas for distribution.

Requirements

• iToo Forest Pack Lite or Pro

• Project Manager 3.40.34 or newest

Supported files
Any model formats you can import via Project Manager and your renderer (e.g., .max, .fbx, renderer-native proxy formats, etc.)

Typical workflow

1. Select a Forest object or select scene objects you want to use as surfaces.

2. In Project Manager, select the model files to scatter.

3. Run Forest Pack Bridge (button/hotkey).

4. Confirm surfaces/areas if prompted, then fine-tune your Forest settings as usual.
