Importing PlantFactory & PlantCatalog plants into Unreal Engine 4 and 5

Both PlantCatalog and PlantFactory include integration plugins for Unreal Engine 4 & 5. Learn how to use them in this video.

Exporting instances from PlantFactory with the Instantiation node

Learn how to improve performance and memory overhead of complex plants by exporting instances with a point cloud.

Mastering iteration nodes in PlantFactory

Iteration nodes are one of the most powerful features in PlantFactory. By designing loops, you can create complex models with just a few nodes.

Working with the Cutout Leaf Node in PlantFactory

With the cutout leaf node, you can cutout meshes from an atlas map for lightweight and customizable geometry.

Setting up vertex colors and Ambient Occlusion in PlantFactory

PlantFactory supports vertex colors for material effects and for computing Ambient Occlusion. Learn how to setup vertex sets here.

Improved graph workflow in PlantFactory

Learn about the graph improvements such as better snapping, the node navigator, indicating node overlaps and auto-scrolling.

Improving blending transitions with complex geometry

PlantFactory offers parameters for improving the geometry blending with parent and child in difficult areas, for example with displacement.

Renderman materials for PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants in Maya

With the integration plugin, any PlantFactory or PlantCatalog can be brought into Maya with native Renderman PxrSurface materials.

PlantFactory and PlantCatalog integration with Omniverse

Discover the Omniverse extension and connector to PlantFactory and PlantCatalog Exporter.

Redshift materials for PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants in Maya

Bring your PlantFactory or PlantCatalog plants into Maya with the PlantFactory integration plugin and automatically create native Redshift materials.

Redshift materials for PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants in Cinema 4D

Any PlantCatalog or PlantFactory plant can be brought into Cinema 4D with native Redshift materials through the integration plugin.

Better topology with axis controls in PlantFactory

Improve your plant model by adjusting the axis spline of segment nodes procedurally and avoiding artefacts in the generated mesh.

#GTC21: Creating and integrating procedural digital nature

Get an overview about VUE's, PlantFactory's & PlantCatalog's procedural workflows and how they can integrate into Omniverse and other pipelines.

Creating Leaf Clusters in PlantFactory

Bake 3D geometry into a leaf cluster texture and then use the newly created leaf cluster component for switching between high-res and low-res leaves.

Export scenes to and create Arnold and V-Ray shaders in Cinema 4D

Discover the *.c4d scene export and the native shader creation for Arnold and V-Ray in Cinema 4D with the VUE and PlantFactory integration plugins.

USD export in VUE & PlantFactory

VUE, PlantFactory and PlantCatalog Exporter support exporting plants, cameras, skies, materials and EcoSystems to USD format.

Understanding the Autogrowth node

The Autogrowth node can generate an entire tree within a single node. This three-part tutorial series explains all available parameters in the node.

Creating Arnold and V-Ray materials in Maya with the PlantFactory plugin

PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants can be imported with the PlantFactory plugin into Maya easily with pre-built materials for Arnold and V-Ray.

PBR viewport options in PlantFactory

You can customize PlantFactory's PBR-compliant viewport with different sky settings for better material previews. This quick tip will teach you how.

Automatic PBR channel tagging

Use VUE's and PlantFactory's tagging system to automatically recognise the various types of texture maps involved in PBR materials.

Editing PlantCatalog plants in PlantFactory

PlantCatalog plants can be edited in PlantFactory. This video shows where to find the plant settings and how to adjust them.

Working with sculpted geometry

Learn how to import sculpted geometry and use it to replace the surface of a segment node. You can also use sculpts from ZBrush through GoZ.

Modelling a wild garlic

Model a wild garlic plant from scratch and learn useful techniques for your own projects such as twisting leaves and creating blossoms.

Modelling a flower from scratch

Create your very first node-based model from scratch in PlantFactory and learn core techniques such as curve editing, presets and exporting to VUE.
