Plants for formz working with Maxwell


John Watson

Recommended Posts

Anybody found a good reliable source of plants for formz and maxwell? .mxs plants ok.

Xfrog works, but the labor to rework most materials (actually implementing the alpha channel as a maxwell material) is very high.

Most venders seem to support most other 3d platforms, but not formz. Perhaps it's buying the plants in another format and importing them. That would be ok, but without the reworking of each material.

Thank you.

Over 25 years of using Form.z and trying to find a solution for realistic plants I have only found one with limited success.  I build my model in Form.z and then export it out to Vue.  I then do all my texture mapping of the model in Vue and start importing plants and trees.  Their program does random seeding of plants and creates fairly good atmospheric effects.  Vue actually integrates directly into several programs but unfortunately not Form.z.  Perhaps some day.....................
