Forestry Training Simulator
Pinecraft lets you practice managing mixed-age pine stands in virtual reality — mark trees, walk the stand, and see the forest you're building before you ever step outside.
Why Mixed-Age Forests?
Mixed-age pine management calls for judgment that's hard to teach from a book — you have to see the stand and make the call. Pinecraft gives you a low-stakes place to build that judgment before you're marking trees in the field.
Features
● Load Your Own Stands
Represent pine stands from a CSV — use a built-in stand or bring your own data.
● Mark Trees
Paint trees for marking directly in VR, just like you would in the field.
● View With & Without Marks
Toggle marked trees on and off to compare before and after.
● POV & Bird's-Eye Views
Walk the stand at eye level, or pull up for a bird's-eye view of the whole area.
● Export Marked Trees
Export your marking session to take the results back out of VR.
Rapid Forest Structure View
Quickly visualize stand structure across a whole area.
Harvest Statistics
Stumpage and other harvest statistics, calculated from your marking session.
Open Source
The uncompiled Unreal Engine project is available for anyone who wants to explore, extend, or adapt Pinecraft.
View on GitHub (Coming Soon)Customize Your Stand
Build your own stand from a CSV, or adapt Pinecraft to your own forest — most real forests are more than one species anyway. Both are coming soon on the Customize page.
