Forest Pack Effects

The Forest Effects system in Forest Pack Pro allows you to extend the plugin's functionality using mathematical expressions to control how objects are scattered and transformed. While "long paper" isn't a standard technical term in the software, it likely refers to a comprehensive guide or a "white paper" style deep-dive into how these effects are scripted and managed. 🛠️ Core Functionality

: Change scattered items or animate frames based on how close they are to a defined boundary or exclude area. Object Proximity
