Render Instances

Populate vast polygonal areas with ease using Cinema 4D instancing technology. Watch Video

Renderer Support

Forester supports natively all major Cinema 4D third party renderers including Redshift, Octane, Arnold and more

Distribution Paterns

Clone distribution can be divided according to a controllable noise pattern. Watch Video

Level Of Detail

Clones can be distributed sequentially to a center thus creating a Level of Detail distribution . Watch Video

Linear Distribution
