Info:
This new technology represents the culmination of e-on software?s decades of expertise in the field of digital nature and delivers unsurpassed realism and performance.

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

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.
