Marc Chaumier's Plant Library
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.

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.

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.

"The wooden texture of the TV-Console looks quite decent.
The Wallpaper on the left has an interesting structure, maybe it would look even better, if you make the texture seamless + applying a little bit of depth, e. g. with highpass - filter in PS?"
"Thank you for help on this topic!
Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.

"Good day,
I searched the former forum posts and found another option to solve this problem which is another plugin to autocad-----AUTOMAPKI. You can give it a try."

3ds +obj import works for older files-'xfrog-plants', for instance... .Comments + Critics appreciated!Hopefully accurender still survives!
"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 :-("
