Scattered Plants: Spring Flowers
After a long winter the first spring flowers lift their colorful heads and warm our hearts with their promise of sunshine and joy.
Now you can add that spring feeling to your renders – and at large scale, too!
These plant props are made to populate entire terrains. They basically are groups of billboards with an organically shaped high-resolution version for the foreground and a very basic low-resolution version for the background. The materials also feature high-res and low-res versions.
Each set of plants has nine dense and nine sparse presets, mix them all for a natural-looking ground cover effect.
You can place the plant props manually in your scene but their true usefulness is revealed when used with instancing. The lightweight geometry allows you to generate thousands of instances without overtaxing your system.
As a bonus, this pack includes two video tutorials that explain how to use them with HowieFarkes’s UltraScatter script and six presets to get you started quickly. However, you can use them with any other instancing script, too. (Note that to use the included scatter presets you will need UltraScatter>UltraScatter Advanced Instancing for Daz Studio script which is available separately.)
The plant’s geometry is set up specifically for small spring flowers; however, they can share textures with the other Scattered Plants packs, for example the Badlands plants.
Note: These plants are made to be rendered at a little distance. They are not very suitable for large close-up renders.
