Here's the Plant Studio URL- really nice app but a bit low on the polygon counts. Best; Dan

or dnload wings3d and make your own..:)

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

Am I missing something? I d/l Plant Studio and when I made my first plant it told me I had so many trys left, that sort of negates it being free. Any ideas? Catlin

plant studio is free,go to there download page i believe, or maybe its the registration page, and it will give you the serial number there, they used to charge for it, but decided to give it away free.

what you can do in order to make pedals and/or leaves, is to create a torus(set to positive), and then create a sphere (set to intersect) just along the outer edge of the torus, and then group them. make the result positive, copy the result, and place the copy just a hair downwards and make it negative. group them, add a picture texture, and you have yourself a pedal. change the shape of the sphere and the torus for different effects.

I've got several flowers in freestuff. The base was Plantstudio, but I have mostly re-modelled them in Amapi, due to the low polycount. They are all in Poser prop format, but I still have them all in native .obj format. If it is of any interest, go have a look at them and IM me. :)



catlin_mc posted Thu, 09 October 2003 at 11:29 AM

Your flowers are lovely Britt. Were you thinking of posting them as obj's? Catlin


brittmccary posted Thu, 09 October 2003 at 12:08 PM

Catlin; I can do that if there is any interest for it; in fact I know that I have lots more that I never made to poser-props.. Let me go through my HD and see what I can find. :)

I'd love to get some flowering plants of this calibre. 8) So you can count me in as one interested member. Catlin

Yes Britts flowers are really good, I turned them back into objs in poser and exported and they look good in bryce. Toucan does some really good flowers as well in 3ds, which are very good in bryce, here is the link. go to the plants/insects page.
