The included vue plants are nice, but there's no roses and there's not much variety of plants and flowers. I was wondering if any of you know any site with high quality 3d plants, flowers and trees to download free, in lwo format or 3ds or whatever. And can ecosystems be created with any plant you download from the web or only with the included Vue plants and trees?

These are all free :). And yes you can use them to eco. Would prolly be better to save all as .vobs but not really necessary.

There used to be free plants available at Xfrog's website.

Maybe you will have better luck than me locating these downloads again. I couldn't find where they are on the site.

Just a note from a flower maker - roses are extremely polygon-heavy. They should be used sparingly.

There are two packs of very good plants (flowers and grass) by Lars Bigraadeer in Renderosity free stuff. They look really cool in ecosystem !

And you'll find even more in the free stuff section…

So how do you take downloaded 3d files( made in other programs) and make them the right size and useable for vue's ecosystem. do you have to first make a new collection and save it in the Plants library? And what about the size? For example i imprted a rose to test, and it's original size is like a giant rose. so, that's the size it would be in the echosystem?

Usually, I import directly the 3DS in my ecosystem and adjust the relatives sizes of each plant/object composing it.

The best way to do it would probably to import the 3DS, adjust its size along a Vue plant, then export it as VOB at the "right" size…

Both approaches should work with your rose example.

are these plants effected by the wind at all? or are they static not movable?

jmc95 posted Thu, 22 March 2007 at 11:29 AM

Nope, only static.
Wind works only with .veg files.

shadeus posted Thu, 22 March 2007 at 11:49 AM

is there a way to make our own? .veg

agiel posted Thu, 22 March 2007 at 12:19 PM

The only way is to make new plants by editing existing .veg file with the plant editor.
