Marc Chaumier's Plant Library

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Marc has graciously uploaded his plant library to share with us.  It's available on the plant lib download page.  It includes some very high quality leaf textures as well.  This represents a lot of work on his part.

[Alejandro Testa]

Well, really thanks to Marc.

[Chas / Aug Posekany]

I appreciate your willingness to share your work Marc.

[Kevin Lockwood]

Nice set of foliage there Marc. Hopefully, I can repay the favor some day.

Thanks to all.

It would be very interesting to have some kind of "wikiplants", a free online plant library for nXt, created, mantained and used by the nXt users community. The library could cover all the existing plant species, naming the .ArPlant files with the scientific name, like:
- Abies alba.ArPlant
- Acer platanoides.ArPlant
- Citrus lemon.ArPlant
...

I think this is the easiest way to have a complete plants library. The users could add new plants, improve the existing ones, discuss about them, etc.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Sounds like an excellent idea-- want to take it on?

[Cosmic Rocket]

3yrs on .... did this ever happen?

[Albert D Hart]

Marc,

We currently distribute plants and materials in a ZIP file with our AccuRender nXt for SketchUp and AccuRender nXt for Revit products.

Is it OK to include these plants in our distribution?

I did add a link to this thread to the SketchUp/Revit forum, so those users can use the plants as well. But it would be convenient for us to include them in our library download.

Al-- just give your users a link to the site. There are going to end up being lots of shared resources online for this community on both of our sites (you should encourage your users to share materials/plants etc.) and I'm pretty sure in the end we'll both prefer the additional traffic over the added convenience.
