Plant Entourage for C4D

DPInstant Tree R2 - Currently a Christmas Special

I have had the opportunity to review a very important program that allows you to create natural elements - Trees, grass and flowers.

This exceptional plug in allows you to custom build plant objects for your rendered scene. The very informative web site features a FREE download of trial software plus the manuals. Check out the active discussion groups for additional information.

15 tree models, 6 flower models and 40 treeshaped tree models come with the basic package. Also many textures. Check out DPIT Nature Spirit at:

I have used the software to create a realistic lawn. Scotts Turf Builder couldn't work better. See the Image example attached to this message.


A Movie of my successful attempt with this product can be found at:

The actual C4D grass patch file is at:

Finally, Katachi has supplied a Free Christmas Tree.

Follow the links on the home page to download this seasonal tradition.


Cheers!

Wow! You are right Dwight, I purchased the Cacti and Succulents Disk from the Maxon Store. These plants look terrific. 20 Pre-made Cacti representing completely accurate models of the plants we see most often here in Southern California and Arizona.

Look at this rendering, I added an Agave to the previous scene. I am going to find out if XFrog can create a realistic grass lawn also. This scene renders in just a minute and 30 seconds, but it really grinds down when it hits the grass section. My goal is to find a fast rendering (yet realistic) way to add grass into the renderings of homes. Perhaps XFrog will do the trick.

Check out the PDF manuals, there seems to be so much information about this product. I don't know why I didn't see it before.

Whew! end of plug
