Temperate Deciduous Trees
A diverse selection of street trees (e.g. Norway maple, silver linden), as well as the impressively large English oak, the fashionable silver birch and the lovely weeping willow, great for water promenades and margins.
10 broadleaf tree species of Laubwerk Plants in 3 variants, 3 ages and 4 seasons each, for architects and CG artists working in 3ds Max & Maya, Cinema 4D, or Sketchup.
3D Plants for CG Artists
Laubwerk offers easy-to-use software extensions for architects and CG artists looking for authentic 3D plants, and plant scattering tools.
With drag-and-drop simplicity, and easy-to-use tools that modify the shape, age, season and level of detail for each of Laubwerk’s stunning 3D plants, users can seamlessly add 3D trees to any CG project. For Autodesk 3ds Max & Maya, MAXON Cinema 4D, Trimble SketchUp, and Python.
Includes 360 Models
All Laubwerk Plants in this Kit come in 36 variations per species, i.e. 3 variants, 3 ages and 4 seasons. Here are a few examples of the variety:
Spring: 10 out of 360 temperate deciduous tree models of Laubwerk Plants Kit 2.
Autumn: 10 out of 360 temperate deciduous tree models of Laubwerk Plants Kit 2.
Includes Free Laubwerk Player
The free Laubwerk Player plugin comes bundled with each of the Laubwerk Plants Kits.
Use the Laubwerk Player to easily load and control plant models inside Autodesk 3ds Max & Maya, MAXON Cinema 4D and Trimble SketchUp. Just drag-and-drop your 3D tree, set the shape, age, and season and level of detail control. Watch the lightning fast rendering with inbuilt and 3rd parts renderer support.
Laubwerk Player Plugin
Inserting, controlling and rendering great-looking 3D tree models has never been easier with the Laubwerk Player plugin! The Laubwerk Player provides immediate visual access to your Laubwerk plant library. You get multiple drawing options in the viewport (like simple hull shape or skeleton) for quick feedback and low memory usage while editing your scene. And when you’re satisfied, watch the Laubwerk Player dynamically render fully-detailed plant models at amazing speeds, with automatic default materials and level of detail.
Plant Library Browser
The Plant Library Browser appears right in the 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D or SketchUp main menu and provides direct access to the Laubwerk Plants installed on your computer. Drag-and-drop your 3D tree species into your scene or replace existing trees. Loading the plants through the Plant Library Browser directly creates materials with basic shading and textures preassigned, saving you time and memory while you work.
Plant Object
The Plant Object represents a Laubwerk plant model in your scene by using low-memory hull or skeleton mode for easy placement. It dynamically loads the model’s age and shape that you chose, creating a simple viewport approximation that allows you to apply model alterations and adjust level of detail settings. Laubwerk Plant Objects are fully scriptable using MaxScript.
V-Ray Support
Dedicated support of V-Ray saves you time and memory. Instead of manually converting Laubwerk Plant Objects into V-Ray proxies, the Plant Object detects when V-Ray is used for rendering and dynamically creates the model’s geometry during rendering. This is the exact same process V-Ray uses for V-Ray proxies, just automatically applied without any manual setup.
Renderer Support
Materials and textures are created on the fly – for the built-in renderer or third-party renderers.
- For 3ds Max, Maya, and Cinema 4D: mental ray, iray, Maxwell Render, Thea Render, Arnold, OctaneRender, Corona Renderer and Redshift.
- For SketchUp: V-Ray for SketchUp and Thea Render for SketchUp.
Laubwerk Advantage
- Plug and Play – One-click solution for architects and CG artists who need realistic 3D trees, immediately.
- Fast and Fluent – Render-ready 3D trees minimize the need for finetuning that can otherwise interrupt your workflow.
- Easy and Integrated – Drag-and-drop plants inside 3ds Max & Maya, and MAXON Cinema 4D, or Trimble SketchUp.
- Intuitive – Simple settings are a mouse click away.
- Smart Content – Go beyond static models! Choose the shape, age, season and detail of each tree.
- High Tech – Laubwerk technology minimizes the usual compromise between high-quality graphics and efficient memory usage.
Realistic 3D Tree Models
Laubwerk uses a hybrid of procedural modeling and hand-detailing by botanist and 3D artists to make the most realistic CG trees.
- Render-ready materials and textures are created on the fly – for the built-in renderer (3ds Max, Maya & Cinema 4D), or third-party renderers such as V-Ray, mental ray, iray, Maxwell Render, Thea Render, Arnold, OctaneRender, and Corona Renderer.
- Leaves consist of more than just a single polygon, so they bend and catch highlights.
- Textures are based on high quality photos from real trees.
- Models maintain shape and density, regardless of detail level.
Description
The following 10 tree species are included in the Plants Kit 2. Each species comes in 36 variations per species, i.e. 3 variants, 3 ages and 4 seasonal aspects, for a total of 360 models per Kit.
Norway maple
Acer platanoides
Medium-size to occasionally large tree distinguished by larger leaves with pointed triangular (as opposed to blunt) lobes and the presence of one or more teeth on all of the lobes. The tree tends to leaf out earlier than most maples and holds its leaves somewhat longer in autumn. A popular street tree in North America following Dutch elm disease.
Sycamore maple
Acer pseudoplatanus
A large tree with a broad and round crown. The leaves have five lobes with toothed edges. They are dark green in color with a whitish underside that is often marked with black spots or patches. A popular city tree do to it’s tolerance of urban pollution.
Horse-chestnut
Aesculus hippocastanum
Tall tree with a domed crown of stout branches and leaves that are opposite and palmately compound. This species turns a strong yellow or brownish yellow in autumn. The leaf scars left on twigs after the leaves have fallen have a distinctive horseshoe shape, complete with seven “nails.”
Red horse-chestnut
Aesculus x carnea
Medium-size tree with a round crown of dense foliage and bright red flowers. Palmate leaves are a dark and shiny green that turn yellow or green in autumn. The tree is an artificial hybrid with an unknown origin, but it probably first appeared in Germany before 1820. It is a popular tree in parks and streets.
Silver birch
Betula pendula
Medium-sized deciduous tree with a crown of arched branches and drooping branchlets. Light green triangular leaves with somewhat fragrant shoots change to medium-green before becoming bright yellow in October. Visually valued for its white bark with black diamond-shaped patches.
Sweetgum
Liquidambar styraciflua
Medium-size tree that starts in a slender conical shape with leader before developing an ovoid crown. This slow to medium/fast-growing species has leaves similar to maple leaves, but alternate. Has a distinctive foliage of fresh green to medium-green with an intense autumn palette the includes fiery violet-brown and crimson-red to orange and yellow in many hues.
English oak
Quercus robur
A large deciduous tree with the circumference of a grand oak. The tree has a wide-spreading crown of rugged branches. The leaves are obovate to elliptical, late shoots, with medium green color and golden green or yellow-brown autumn colors. Retains foliage partially through winter.
Weeping willow
Salix alba ‘Tristis’
Impressive, medium-size, fast-growing decorative tree. The crown is curved irregularly wide and the long thin branches hang limply down. The bark is light gray-brown. The “weeping” branches are bright yellow in spring and light yellow in summer, holding large leaves.
Mountain-ash
Sorbus aucuparia
Small to medium-sized deciduous tree with smooth silvery grey bark in young trees that becomes scaly pale grey-brown and occasionally fissured on old trees. The shoots are green and variably hairy at first, becoming grey-brown and hairless. The buds are a conspicuous purple-brown and often densely hairy. The leaves are pinnate, with a coarsely serrated margin, variable hairiness and a dull medium-green color, with bluish hues underneath.The autumn colors are strong-yellow-orange or brick-red.
Silver linden
Tilia tomentosa
An impressive, large tree. The crown starts broadly conical or ovoid before becoming round. The main branches are stiffly upright, hardly overhanging, with diagonally rising or horizontal twigs. The leaves are broadly cordate and asymmetrical. Shoots are whitish grey, then dull green on top, with white tomentose underneath. The leaves remain green well into autumn before becoming pale yellow in November.
