Has anyone seen a plam like this one either in OBJ, 3DS, or Poser files. Speaking of plants...where, in your opinion, is the best site to get plants that actually look like plants...good ones? There are a ton of plants out there but alot of them don't look that good. Any suggestions?

hi - i recommend http://www.3dplants.com/ they also have some dozens of free models there - very nice

I've been there. They have some nice plants, but nothing like the one in the above message. I need one like that for a potted plant.

Over at 3d Commune I guess its Pinhead who have 5 palms in free stuff you maybe can use.

Oh its obj-files...they are in the Bryce section

Cool, I would like to have this myself, but the link isn't working. I appreciate you offering it though. :-)

Thank ya muchly!! Great plants!!

Maybe someone from this thread can help me too :) I've been looking for decent Mediterranean plants/trees but have come up with nothing. Something like cypresses, olive trees, etc. If anyone knows of any please let me know.

Anyone see any shrubs while they were out there? especially rhododendrons?

For trees Liteluvr's virtual forest sets are very good. I'm working on some leaf and bark textures that will be up free at his site eventually to extend the usefulness of the sets even further. Orio also has some lovely trees made with Xfrog but they are VERY high poly. Now that I have a new computer with 512 megs of RAM I might pick some of them up - right now I only have a couple freebies he gave away a while back that made my old computer crash and burn half the time with memory overload : ) I have been pretty disappointed with most of the shrubs and such I've seen for Poser. The shapes are good, but the textures are horrible. The plants look plastic, not real But I'm a botanist, so I'm pretty darn hard to please in that department : ) Eventually I'll pick up Xfrog and have a go at modeling and UV mapping my own, I suppose. There is a shareware modeller for small plants out there by Kurtz-Feingold at http://www3.mistral.co.uk/nigelpickering/ but the models generated with it don't take textures at all and every time I run them through UV mapper I get something wierder than snake shoes. 3d cafe has a package called "The Botanical" that looks pretty good but before I shell out the $150 to pick it up I'd like to talk to someone else who got it. There has GOT to be stuff out there for AutoCAD in DXF format for the landscape architects to use but I've had no joy so far finding stand-alone products with good plants in DXF format.

Well branches are easy for people to get but I haven't been happy with leaves so far. I'm not as picky as you Goldfire, but my dad was an English gardener. So plants should look like plants, darn it :) I have plantstudio and its good for little stuff - and I have lots of trees - but shrubbery and undergroth yet defeat me. Also there seems not to be a good low poly solution for boxwood hedges :) Was it you who was going to scan some leaves in for me to play with? or confusing you with someone else? Lyrra

thegeisel, I want to thank you so much for those plants. They are awesome and they are set as props for Poser which is great. If you did those, you gotta do more. Thanks again, Cherokee

Newbie here, Can anyone point me to a fig leaf? Adam & Eve need some help. (seemed like a natural to me, but no luck so far) BDMfencer7

Pam Cresswell had a fig leaf prop in Free stuff once, if you can't find it, it's on her page at the link. *sigh* still looking for Mediterranean trees and plants...

Kaypso, Thank you for the site ref. I found just what I needed and several other things there that I could not pass by. Good luck with your quest. Sorry, I'm totally new to this stuff, no suggestions to offer. BDM
