BROADLEAF 6 released !

OnyxTREE BROADLEAF is a dedicated procedural creator and modeler of 3D broadleaf trees, shrubs, and bushes. Besides 3D it exports lit single polygon panel trees with shadow. The modeler comes with extensive BROADLEAF Library with over 220 ready-to-use presets of trees, bushes and other plants.

Key features of OnyxTREE BROADLEAF modeler

  • Intuitive and fast parametric modeling
  • OnyxTREE BROADLEAF Library included
  • Save 3D model as ONX, 3DS, C4D, DXF, FAC, LWO, OBJ
  • Wind sequence export
  • Render with light and shadow
  • Hi-res export with alpha channel and one polygon panel
  • Leaf plates and Leaf Texture Library
  • Chain-saw pruning, trunk shapes, branch curvatures, etc...
  • Exquisite user interface
  • StarTrek movie movie

    This premier dedicated, knowledge-based, parametric modeler builds plants for you. The process of a tree creation and its 3D model generation is extremely fast and robust. It is capable to create infinite variety of highly photorealistic and biologically faithful trees that will grossly enhance the quality of your renderings.

    3D model export

    OnyxTREE BROADLEAF exports 3D trees in six most popular 3D file formats. Those are: 3DS with UVs and sub-materials; C4D with colors, UVs, and sub-objects; DXF with colors and layers, FACT with color-per-vertex coordinates, UVs, and sub-objects, LWO with color-per-vertex coordinates, UVs, and surfaces; OBJ with colors, UVs, and sub-objects. In addition, you can save lassoed part of the tree. Also, prior to export you can adjust the polygon count !

    Comprehensive 3D export

    Leaf plates Natural leaves

    You can easily texture map natural scanned leaves onto the tree in your renderer. Export 3D model with plates. The plate or leaf prototype holds UV mapping coordinates. Use the leaves from included Leaf Library of texture maps.



    Wind

    If you wish to blow wind on the tree, set the wind parameters to the desired values and the smart algorithms will calculate and model all the deformations on the basis of physical properties of the wind and the tree, and the interaction forces between them, without any extra effort on users part. Shown below is Wind Time Line bar and below that images of young Salix babylonica affected by light breeze, moderate breeze, and moderate gale, respectively.

    Wind affected 3d model sequence export

    This feature has been developed for the users of Lightwave, Cinema4D, Modo, Maya, etc. From now on, you can generate sequence of 3d models of a tree under wind, and import them into their software, render it, and create beautiful animation of trees. OnyxTREE BROADLEAF saves tree models as sequences of LWO, C4D, OBJ, 3DS, DXF, FAC, or ONX files, with the desired naming format. In addition, frame-to-frame model polygon count is constant.

    Sequence Export

    Render with light

    This is truly one of a kind feature. Load any tree, enable the sun light, choose, for example, the late afternoon sun preset, and press the render button. The tree lit by the late afternoon sun appears on the canvas in seconds. You can either choose one of light presets or custom adjust light parameters to a variety of other light conditions. And, no matter how many polygons it has, the chosen tree will ALWAYS be rendered thanks to OnyxTREE BROADLEAF's superbly conceived Z3R rendering engine which does quality job with astonishing speed of 40,000 polygons/second with virtually no RAM requirement.

    Shadow casting

    A tree can cast its shadow on a horizontal surface. Just press the shadow button and a chosen tree casts its shadow onto the ground according to the preset light and shadow conditions. You can save that image as a TGA file with an alpha channel. An ideal feature for post processing and photo compositing.

    Shadow image

    PANEL Hi-res image export

    You can save the rendered image of a tree as a BMP file (Win version), PICT (Mac version) and TGA file. The image size and resolution are adjustable and can be up to 30,000 pixels in either direction. You can set the background color by choosing among the predefined background colors or by custom picking the color. When saving as TGA file, you have options to do it with alpha channel and antialiasing.


    Any viewpoint 2D panel export

    When exporting a tree image as a Targa (TGA) file, you can complement it with a single polygon "panel" or "billboard" which will assure a perfect texture-mapping of the image to the polygon. This is an extremely useful feature for those customers who want to use one polygon "panel" or "billboard" trees instead of full 3D models in their scenes. It is a great polygon saver.

    Leaf texture maps included

    OnyxTREE BROADLEAF comes with a collection of leaf image maps - front and back, bump and alpha mask maps. Here are some samples:

    OnyxTREE BROADLEAF Library included

    OnyxTREE BROADLEAF comes with a rich collection of already created broadleaf trees, bushes and other plants ready to use, modify, and expand upon. The user will find there from the most popular Acer saccharum - Sugar Maple, over beautiful Betula papyrifera - Paper Birch, and exotic Eucalyptus ornata - Silver Mallet, to tall Populus nigra - Lombardy Poplar, and many many other species, including an underwater seaweed. All-in-all more than 220 plants ! Below are their screen shots:
