        Wow, Pete: these are really sweet...and at under 200k I'm really really impressed! If I thought that could be done I probably wouldn't have gone down the path I'm on...but I'm glad I didn't 'cause I'm pretty happy I where I am.

        And yeah, sure...always happy to inspire the competition, it's good for business :`)

              Tom, Pete,

              Your new plant pack will be great. You can put me on the purchase-list, already.
              And, I have a wish about new 'vegetation', something hard to find: Bamboo.
              The real chinese/japanees trees aswell as the lower, smaller varieties.
              You would do me a great pleasure with such an addition/additions.

              greetings,
              Ton

                  Amazing you can get the size to be so low! πŸ‘ Puts my 3D Wharehouse downloads to shame.

                  What method of payment are you thinking of?

                    I would probably use paypal as I have an account with them, unless a distributor can make me an offer I cannot refuse πŸ˜‰ so that I do not need to be involved in marketing and distribution.

                      Here are a few more from the collection.

                      There are many that I am struggling to get behave right, Like complicated hedges and advanced looking shrubs, even though the file size are very small there are many embedded groups which can cripple a machine if you use to many in a scene, Using layer works, but i really want to achieve lush shrubs without it taking a toll on performance, anyone got ideas?

                        Pete,

                        Really nice bamboo, that's what I am looking for.
                        The maple will be very welcome too.

                        Looking forward to the whole collection,

                        greetings,
                        Ton

                          Beautiful plants!
                          Maybe even, as in Vue to try, the trunks and thick branches - polygons(cylinders), and thin branches with leaves and flowers, or individual leaves to herbaceous plants of .png with transparency?

                                      Thanks guys.

                                      Dirk, I have not released it yet as I am still completing it.

                                      I saw in one of your gallery threads you were using very high poly vegetation for you photoreal rendering, what I am hoping here is a collection of photoreal vegetation thats lower poly and that renders perfectly with every engine including Vray that does not use .png's too well. All my textures will be .jpg's (optimised) so no alpha mapping needed, and they will all be 3D so no shadow issues and alignment issues. I also wanted a product that straight SU users could use that looked great and even use them in animations (face me's just don't cut it)
                                      I am hoping to wrap it up soon and have it available by month end, I am just trying to figure out how to distribute it and what a fair price would be, I want it to be a fair price for both the user and for the amount of work I've put into it with modeling and texture creation.

                                          Are you referring to that V-Ray requires you to load an alpha channel bitmap for transparency?

                                          I'm really interested in this collection of yours Solo. I sorely need some vegetation which doesn't kill SU.
