Stop placing assets manually. Build entire ecosystems in minutes, not days.
Populating large environments in Unreal Engine is slow and repetitive.
Forest Tools gives you a fast, artist-driven way to create forests, ivy, and natural vegetation with full control and real-time feedback.
Built by an environment artist, for environment artists.
Why Forest Tools?
Precision Where It Matters: Use the PerfectCut system for Archviz-level accuracy—no more grass clipping through paths or stone slabs.
Cinematic Ivy & Lianas: Generate high-fidelity, physically inspired climbing growth directly in the editor.
Artist-First UI: Manage different scatters from a single, streamlined dashboard. No more hunting through the Outliner.
Built for Scale: Optimized for massive worlds. Thousands of instances, zero workflow lag.
Key Features
Scatter Anything, Anywhere: Static meshes, Decals, Splines, or Level Instances—scatter on any surface with full orientation control.
GPU Runtime Scattering: High-performance real-time scattering for dynamic environments.
Advanced Procedural Effects: Includes stepped rotation, height-based mesh swapping, edge-aware variations, and flow-aligned orientation.
Forest Groups: Procedurally cluster meshes to mimic natural growth patterns and organic diversity.
One-Click Presets: Save and reuse your favorite biomes to maintain consistency across entire projects.
Perfect For:
Game Developers: Create optimized, performant ecosystems for open-world titles.
Archviz Professionals: Achieve perfect edges and realistic scattering with zero manual cleanup.
Virtual Production & Cinematics: Rapidly iterate on lush, dense environments for high-end renders.
Note: Example scenes utilize Megascans assets for demonstration. Forest Tools is compatible with any mesh library and includes sample content to get you started immediately.
