Alpha Trees - Render massive forests, fast

Alpha Trees 2.2 has been released!

Note: This is more the culmination of the past six months of updates, and if you already have the latest version, you wont see any changes. I just realised recently that I hadn’t released a full update in a while, and not many people were aware of the changes in the latest version

The biggest changes are to weight layers, which now has five new layers, as well as a revamp of its UI in Alpha Trees:

Here’s the full list of updates:

  • Added Normalize, Is inside mesh, Clamp, Camera cull and blur weight layers.
  • Updated the weight layers UI for Alpha Trees to be much more intuitive to use.
  • Added three high quality preset biomes: Mediterranean pine scrub, European broadleaf forest and Spruce woodland
  • Added a new method for editing and viewing biome presets
  • Fixed many bugs including:
    • Camera tracking for single trees will now work instead of causing an error
    • reloading previews will now actually reload the tree previews
    • If a tree in the scene isn’t found in the current library, a more helpful error is shown
    • Fixed moving the order of adjustments in weight layers messing up
  • Added support for Blender 3.2
  • Updated the documentation to cover all new subjects, and also to better cover the existing topics.

Hope you like it :slight_smile:
