Landscapes - experimenting with Forest Pack & V-Ray Next

Experimenting with the latest version of Forest Pack and V-Ray Next. Used a height map of Gale Crater on Mars to create the displacement of the landscape, then added a few different types of forest. No real goal other than to see how well V-Ray Next handled thousands of instances (answer: surprisingly well - even the 4k image (the first one) only took about 5-6 minutes to render.)
