The Plant Factory by e-on software will allow you to create any kind of vegetation - real or otherworldly. Announced earlier last week, according to their site, more news will come soon today (March 11).
The Plant Factory is e-on software's revolutionary new plant modeling and rendering technology.
This new technology represents the culmination of e-on software's decades of expertise in the field of digital nature and delivers unsurpassed realism and performance.
As a next generation vegetation platform, The Plant Factory incorporates four foundational elements:
- Multi-Platform/Multi-Discipline – operates across all CG platforms including real-time, streaming, and offline rendering systems and caters to the needs of CG, SFX, Landscaping, GeoDesign, Architecture and Gaming communities
- Botanical Coherency – allows the creation of more botanically accurate plant appearances and behaviors
- Precise Control – users can create plants of any desired shape, appearance, and behavior using simple building blocks
- Massive Populations – building on e-on’s leadership in EcoSystems™ to create landscapes containing millions of plants
