What's It All About?
With our PlantCatalog designed by our very own botanist and in collaboration with various Botanical Gardens throughout the world - such as Jardín Botánico “La Concepción” de Malaga, the Bedgebury National Pinetum, Forest England, and Viveros Guzmán - you’ll receive an ever-growing collection of 3D vegetation species that are both physically and botanically correct.
Our assets ship in HD (high poly-count), LD (smaller poly-count footprint) or RT (ideal for real-time engines)* and are fully textured to meet your projects demands.
Static vegetation models are a thing of the past! Each one of our procedural species has a plant engine that can generate anything from game-ready vegetation to blockbuster Hero trees.
But it doesn’t stop there – there’s a plethora of presets to choose from including age variations. The best part? Everything is procedural, meaning you get access to all the parameters and can modify your asset the way you want!
With new species added every quarter, the PlantCatalog is a must-have!
Getting Started Is Easy!
We created our PlantCatalog with our users’ needs in mind. We know that each project is different, which is why giving our users the ability to customize their assets was our number one priority. With the free PlantCatalog Exporter, you’ll be able to edit a number of pre loaded presets with ease!
We also give you access to importer plugins to load the vegetation models directly into 3ds Max and Maya*.
Want more customization? Loading the PlantCatalog assets within PlantFactory will allow you to customize your asset without any limits!
Down To Business
The PlantCatalog vegetation assets are natively compatible with VUE and PlantFactory, and can be accessed directly within the software content browsers.
The PlantCatalog Exporter standalone application allows you to export to any 3D application using generic export formats such as Alembic, FBX, 3DS, OBJ, C4D, LWO, etc. It also offers a variety of export presets, custom tailored for specific host applications such as Unreal, Unity, 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema4D, LightWave, Modo, ZBrush, Blender, LumenRT and more!
Plants are exported fully rigged and fully textured, with UV maps (incl support for UDIMs) and displacement, and with all their LODs. Breeze or wind animated plants can be exported as a fully rigged mesh or as a cloud of animated vertices (MDD style).
The importer plugins allow for loading, editing health, maturity and season as well as published parameters and converting native PlantCatalog content within the host application, without going through any baking or exporting process.
And did we mention? You can fine-tune the animation of rigged mesh plants directly inside your target 3D application!
