Hi

I asked him that already and he told me uses software from Onyx http://www.onyxtree.com/

The trees contain a lot of polygons so don't go wild

Thank you for the answer.

Here are also many bitmap trees.

You mean in Garden Works?

[Ben Odonnell]

No I mean ArchiBAM, but yes they are included in the Garden Works Lib.

Cheers.

There is always a saw-off between the pleasing reality of the 3D tree and their polyload - OnyxTree and Botanica come to mind as being among the best, but the true advantage of these 3D models is when you make your own billboards.

These billboards are superior because they don't have any hanging fringe pixels like photography does.

Here's a billboard made from an Onyx model with the texture and color modulated in Photoshop that I am using in an elevation streetscape. Soft in form yet crisp in edge.

Garden Works doesn't work...

It is realy nice. realistic, at the same time graphical.
Above all it looks like trees on the rendered drawing.

While I think about it, the other advantage is that one can use the 3D in the foreground and have the same tree in the deep background, but as a billboard.

Ba doo ba ding.

BTW: OnyxTree Pro has given me promotional software, but don't let that stop you from exploring the other options, including those from the eovia people and Bryce, etc. What you want is a real 3D polygonal leaf structure, not curved planes with bitmapped leaf patterns. As soon as you see a repeat, it is amateur.
