Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.

Blocks not rendering in nXt
Hello everyone,
I'm a long time Accurender user. I have an essentially simple model that has a few objects that are blocks. The objects are not rendering at all. They only render when I explode the blocks. does anyone have an idea what the issue may be?
Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Had the same thing happen just now to a bed, sink and toilet block all of which were old AR3-AR4 blocks taken from the Blocks and Materials CD's that shipped with AR3.
The bed would show up in the views but not render at all.
No matter what I checked or did the item was just not rendering - as if it was not there. Checked my layers, did an audit, purge etc...
Luckily I had just saved a working version of the same file so I was able to get back to a working set of furniture. From this I was able to make some comparisons.
1. The items appear to disappear if they have been set to layer 0 and inserted on layer 0 originally. If they are inserted while set to some other layer they do not appear to develop this vanishing ability.
2. I too am on AutoCAD 2008 so it might be a problem with older versions of AutoCAD.
3. These were copies of blocks that had been inserted. The original blocks continued to render - very much like the TREES that would vanish after the 4th or 5th copy, these blocks would do the same.
After I explode the blocks they work - I did notice that the Open GL image of the bed did change, that is the texture maps did update a bit after I had exploded the object so there was something going on as far as AR5 understood the object.
Unfortunately I believe I have totally fixed the problematic file so I no longer have a broken version to share. The next time it happens I will attempt to send a copy to Roy and gang.

Thanks-- the original issue seen by alexinfla was closed-- it related to trying to render ACA objects in non-ACA AutoCAD. What you're experiencing is likely a different problem.
There is no "OpenGL image" anymore-- WalkAbout uses AutoCAD for its display.

"Very nice piece. Brilliant work.
Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."
"Thank you so much."
"Sorry, do not exactly how to do it right.
If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?
Maybe this is interesting for others too.."
"Thanks Rich,
exacvtly what i found out.
Only did't know what to dfo with the AO map.."
"nXtRender doesn't use the AO texture image settings for anything, so don't bother trying to use that.
I would start use the Diffuse textures at 100% and experiment with the levels of the Specular Reflection.

Also used some free sketchup tree models (*.skp) from sketchuptextureclub and opened them in sketchup, exportet them to *.obj and used them in…"
