"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("

This is lovely George. Congratulations!

As you can see in this link, rendering was done using Blender 3D and its rendering engine called Cycles. All things visible on it are actually real 3D models (except the man on the right, two rose plants and the small greenery in the lower edge of the picture, pasted in using GIMP). As plants consist of tens or hundreds of thousands polygons, they do affect rendering time significantly. Fortunately, Cycles can run on CPU or GPU (if there is any compatible in the computer) and I am using GPU (AMD R9 380 card) most of times getting render times almost 4X faster than running it on CPU (old AMD Phenom II 1055 X6). Trees and ivy are large models (as regards the polygon count) but the most polygons are usually created for the grass. It is so called particle system (used also for creating fur, hair and other stuff in Blender) when real geometry is produced during the rendering process (something like nXt trees, shown as wire in drawing but converted into geometry just before rendering). That particle systems are capable of producing millions of polygons. For some reason that method keeps memory usage low so big areas can be covered without the risk of possible memory overflow. Ah, the base building model was created in Spirit, my main architectural CAD, exported to Blender using Collada output. Finally, time needed for this image running on GPU was about an hour and half for 1920X1400 resolution. After that, another hour in GIMP for composing additional plants and entourage described above as well as for sign and vignette effect.

Can you explain how you do your site adaption please? is it all PS or in NXT? I do a lot of plants in NXt and it kills rendering time.

OBJ Plant Issue - Diffuse Maps
Hi to anyone;maybe a similar issue as Mr.Holz announced recently, (PBR Texture question):-added a obj. plant via 'Textured Mesh Objects' widget-reassigned maps (materials showed up, but with no maps attached, (although mtl. files are in the same folder as corresponding maps and obj files)-tried to render (see 'result')So my question is: Does anybody knew about how to handle Diffuse Maps in nXt, i suspect there is no interpretation of the UV-Coordinates?Any hints and help kindly appreciated!…See More

"Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.
I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library.

"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.."
