Experiments with ngPlant

ngPlant is a specialized modeler for trees and plants written by Sergey Prokhorchuk. It is an opensource project and can be found here. Models are output in .obj format and are uv mapped.

The following trees and plants were modeled in ngPlant 0.9.2a, converted with PoseRay and rendered in PovRay. The .ngp parameter files for each model are available. They are for personal, non commercial use only and not to be distributed without permission. Please note that textures are not included (mainly because I have not kept track of the permissions for distribution).

If you find that any of this material is of use to you, I'd love to know (abe.madey@gmail.com).

The following are some of the texture sources which I used.

CG Textures: clean photographs (with generous terms of use) useful for basing textures on.

3D Resources: among other resources a suprising number of leaf textures with transparency masks.

free-textures.com: some good bark photographs for textures.
