Short checklist for reviewers
Select all Forester Tree objects. In the Wind tag, set strength to 2.5, frequency to 0.8, and turbulence scale to 4m. Enable “Dynamics” so branches react to the character movement (if you add a R25 Character object later).
: The packs offer sophisticated tools for generating diverse terrains, complete with customizable parameters for texture, elevation, and more. This allows for the creation of complex, natural landscapes that can be used as the foundation for a wide range of scenes.
