PlantFactory is a revolutionary 3D vegetation modeling, animation and rendering software, dedicated to the CG, SFX, Architecture and Gaming communities.
With PlantFactory you can
Create any kind of vegetation, from simple grass to super elaborate hero trees
Create your vegetation by painting it, assembling simple building blocks, or completely graphing all plant properties
Generate procedural geometry and materials of unlimited detail
Animate all plant aspects using precise wind and breeze algorithms
Export your 3D vegetation to your preferred application as standard .OBJ, .3DS, .C4D, .LWO, .ABC (alembic) or animated .FBX
Go back and forth between PlantFactory and ZBrush using the GoZ bridge
Render stills and animations for your compositing jobs or for use as billboards
Expand your plant library through the TPF Nursery
As a next generation vegetation platform, PlantFactory incorporates four foundational elements
Multi-Platform/Multi-Discipline – operates across all CG platforms including real-time, streaming, and offline rendering systems and caters to the needs of CG, SFX, Landscaping, GeoDesign, Architecture and Gaming communities
Botanical Coherency – allows the creation of more botanically accurate plant appearances and behaviors
Precise Control – users can create plants of any desired shape, appearance, and behavior using simple building blocks
Massive Populations – building on e-on’s leadership in EcoSystems™ to create landscapes containing millions of plants
PlantFactory in Your 3D Application
Plants created using the PlantFactory technology can be exported to any 3D Application using multiple export formats such as FBX, 3DS, OBJ, C4D, LWO, etc. Plants are exported fully rigged, fully textured, with UV maps and displacement, etc. Breeze or wind animated plants can be exported using a fully rigged mesh, or as a cloud of animated vertices (MDD style). That way, you can fine tune the plant animation to your needs, directly inside your preferred application.
