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

I'm not at my desk right now but have a quick question. My client is having problems with the material colors I have right now matching manufactuer cologetrs. The only thing they have is an old .mli file which I don't have an old version of autocad to open it with. My question is, what is going to be the easiest method to get a base to work with in accurender with these old textures?

.mlib files can be converted into materials and folders using a tool in the Widgets menu. The procedure is outlined here.
Do keep in mind that the engine is different, though, so colors may shift a little depending on the lighting. Some materials may require manual adjustment.

I tried that and it just sits at converting library with no activity. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to give it some time but this is a 7k file we are talking about. I wouldn't think it would take that long to convert. Also not sure if this is relevant or not but I think this was a material library I used from back in autocad 2002 days and not specifically with accurender.

Ah-- it is relevant-- .mlib files are ours (legacy versions of AccuRender)-- .mli files were old AutoCAD AVE render material files. I don't think we can do anything with these.

Ok so best bet at this point would be recreating from rgb color base right?

Yes-- like I said it may require a little tweaking as well. Have an example playground scene ready with typical lighting in order to evaluate the materials. Render at low-resolution so you don't go crazy.

Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."

If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?

"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.
