Developers and artists looking for a 3D solution for modeling procedural 3D vegetation

About PlantFactory

PlantFactory is the most powerful solution on the market for modeling 3D vegetation. Its procedural, yet artist-friendly toolbox empowers you with unprecedented control over every detail. Create anything, from tiny mushrooms to majestic trees. Whether you need ultra-realistic, high polygon plants for VFX and archviz, stylized vegetation for commercials or lightweight objects for real-time engines, PlantFactory will cover all your needs while integrating seamlessly into your pipeline. PlantFactory offers three different modeling methods that can be mixed and matched. Draw plants with primitives or self-made brushes, use components (building blocks), or create everything from scratch with nodes. Thanks to its open-ended design, PlantFactory can also generate non-organic objects with repeating structures easily. UV-unwrapping and proper edge flow and topology are handled automatically by smart algorithms. Focus more on creating content and less on technical nuisances.
