All models on Sketchfab are based on the PlantCatalog HD quality plants. With each purchase, you receive the model in FBX, GLTF, GLB and USDZ* file formats with all texture maps. LODs are also available, and all meshes are exported with material blending and Ambient Occlusion baked into each mesh as vertex color data.

There's also a selection of free models to download right away, which has received 4 new models (all models shown in this article).

Single Sketchfab assets vs. PlantCatalog procedurals

All PlantCatalog plants on Sketchfab were exported from PlantCatalog procedural plants. We made sure to include the best settings for broad, cross-application asset usage. The exports were done as static meshes at the default mesh resolution (40%).

If you like the assets, but would like to tweak the export settings to fit more seamlessly into your specific pipeline of choice or you would like to get more variations from a selected species, we recommend our full PlantCatalog procedural vegetation collection with the included PlantCatalog Exporter software.

The procedural nature of the PlantCatalog species will allow you to choose your seed and mesh resolution, change any of the published parameters, set wind and breeze as well as automatically convert the shaders to Unreal Engine, Arnold, Redshift, RenderMan and V-Ray.
