Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.
I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library.

New behavior off render farm or am I going crazy?
Ok I bought a new computer for my cad work and rendering to speed things up. In the process I upgraded to 310 version of nxt plugin. I normally use the path tracer for my work and set it to about 120 passes or so for my playground designs. Since I installed it I have sent work to my farm and things are going way too fast. When I go and take a look at the output, I was used to seeing strips of the finished product say like 100 pixels high by the full width that I would combine together in image editor. Now I am getting a full picture that when added just seems to wash out the picture. I went ahead and tried upgrading the farm to 315 and the plugin to 317 and still getting the same results. I even went out on a limb and am trying the studio version (which I must say looks good and is a lot closer to what I was after minus the render farm bulk rendering). Am I missing something here? I have been known to have some crazy moments but I didn't think I went completely off the deep end? :)

It depends which engine you're using.
If you're using the original Packet Tracer, engine 0, you will get strips which you need to "Add" together to make your final image.
If you're using either of the other two engines you'll get complete images which you need to "Combine" (one of the choices in the Image Editor) to produce the final.
There is some info on this here.

Well tried to switch back to path trace engine. Sent it to the farm and got three outputted images (full again not the strips)

That's correct. Use the Combine option in the Image Editor.

Ahhhh thank you figured it out there. On the machine where the farm is stored I tend to run the image editor off it since it's local storage for the files. Problem is I hardly ever use it for actual autocad design work so the image editor was an older version and it didn't have the combine option. I went to the new machine and it has it. Thanks Roy I thought I was going crazy!

"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.."

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.
