Forester Pro Version 1.15 Released

by Matthew Genge · 04/18/2013 (3:36 pm) · 24 comments

Forester Pro version 1.15 features improved performance for low and mid-range systems and general performance enhancements for exporting and tree creation. We've also added an additional feature to the user interface to improve work flow. All these features are in response to user feedback.

Improvements

(1) Tree creation and loading is now 2-5x faster.

(2) Exporting models is now 2-10x faster.

(3) Shaders can optionally be disabled improving performance on low and mid-range systems by 2-4x. Leaf and branch shaders can be disabled independently.

(4) The content menu can now be accessed by pressing the middle mouse button as well as a right-click. There is no delay for middle mouse button access.

If you've already installed Forester Pro you can update using this installer:

Will sort out the right click issue in the next release.

Best,

Not a problem specifically with this release, but when I click the category drop-down in the Tree Library, it jumps to "All" and won't let me select by category. No matter what I try it just jumps to All and closes the drop-down. It would be nice for that drop-down to work. Thanks!

@Joe, think that's an old bug. I have had the same problem for a while, but forgot to mention it, sorry Matt.
