====== Introduction to the Forest library ======

Directly dependent on the [[core-library-introduction|Core library]], the Forest library handles management of dynamic forests containing potentially millions of trees. It houses optimized [[culling-and-population-structures|culling]] and [[level-of-detail|level of detail]] systems. It also provides systems to help manage forest-level [[cwindstatemgr-in-core#forestlibrarywindfunctions|wind]] and the cascaded shadow map implementation.  


Like Core, Forest is portable with no graphics-API dependencies.
