      I see that you are adding a lot of tropical/subtropical flora to this collection. Any chance for more "temperate" vegetation?

      That's an interesting question. What kind of vegetation are you making? Any particular climate? Will you be doing packages for different climates?
      I do visualisation work for an architectural office where we operate only in Norway, so my interest for vegetation would be limited to vegetation which occurs in Northern Europe.

      By the way, can you give some example face/edge count for some of the examples you've posted?

        Here is a complex model, the Sweet potato vine, model is 141kb (this is straight SU image with edges on)

          Why so many groups? Are they deeply nested?

          Reason I ask, is that V-Ray will take longer to parse scenes which has many deeply nested groups/components. Also, is all material applied to the geometry or the groups.
          V-Ray will also slow down, quite notably very quickly, from materials applied to groups or components. Just a FYI.

            Every stem and every leaf is a seperate group, only one level down (Component --> 86 groups)
            Renders fast in Podium, Vue and Indigo (yes Indigo)

            I was under the impression that the new Vray handles grouped meshes better, or is it still doing that wierd disapearing group thing?

            All textures have been applied to both faces, not groups/components.

              Ok, with only one level of grouping it should be fine.

              The original version had some problems where groups would not render at all. Components where fine.
              In SR1.0 it seemed this was fixed, but in SR1.5 things seemed to disappear again. But this time only when you edited a group. Apparently SU doesn't report back that the group changed. But when the file is reloaded it works fine. So it should not be a problem when you just place the vegetation components out there. Only if one where to edit them. But a V-Ray user would most likely be aware of this problem anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that.

                Yes it would be nice to have trees and shrubs from Northern hemisphere. Well that is where my interest would be.

                  Technically they are, Most of these are used in Texas (mind you that's like another planet, strange weather, strange landscape and even stranger people/presidents)

                      I have already started a savings account. I am placing a couple dollars on my computer every day waiting for the release, I hope that will cover it 😉

                            Love Nastursiums. We plant them every spring in SE Pennsylvania and they continue to a hard frost. I believe they grow year round in areas without frost (i.e. California has tons along the ocean up as far as San Francisco). And they taste good.

                                Nice sturtiums, Pete, They look very realistic, especially the leaves. They are a very rangy plant that crawls all over in happy disarray and the flowers tend to be floppy and rarely perfect like this, but this is fine, very fine.

                                  Thanks guys, and I noticed they are very rangy, I will try modify them to look less organised.

                                    Pete, your work is always amazing. I've a few requests:
                                    A larger, denser liriope; they are very popular here, growing about 18" tall and very dense.
                                    a hellebore (linten rose)
                                    flowering crepe myrtle

                                    My avatar is an anachronism.

                                      excellent job Pete!!!, something normal in you, the truth you can buy these plants is because they are very good and in sketchup is not always easy with vegetation so real, I guess that tell us where you can buy, grating

                                        Solo these look great, I havent completely read through this thread so I apologize if I am repeating this question, but what did you use to map the textures? Im pretty sure photoshop cs4 can handle mapping on 3d objects, as well as zbrush...did you use any of these or was it in 3ds max?

                                            Pete, I know quite a few landscape designers and architects that will jump on your collection. If I may add my requests....

                                            More ornamental grasses. Specifically Miscanthus Gracillimus Maiden Grass, Karl Forester Feather Reed Grass and Karley Rose Fountain Grass. These are staples in northeast landscape design and something I'm currently lacking in my collection.

                                            Just to give you a run down of what LA's in my zone (6b) would be looking for:

                                            Perennial staples - Rudbeckia (Black Eyed Susan), Echinacea (Coneflower), Perovskia (Russian Sage), Shasta Daisy, Lavendula, Gaillardia (Blanket Flower), Autumn Joy Sedum, Hosta, Phlox, Daylilly, Huechera (Coral Bell) & Dianthus.

                                            Evergreen Shrub staples - Boxwood, Otto Luyken Cherry Laurel, Schipkaensis Laurel, Ilex Glabra (Inkberry Holly), Pieris, PJM Rhodedendron

                                            Flowering Shrub staples - Spirea, Knockout Rose, Hydrangea, Crape Myrtle, Weigelia, Lilac, Forsythia, Viburnum

                                            Other things would be ornatmental trees such as weeping cherry, dogwood and flowering crabapple
                                            Dwarf and weeping conifers such as globe blue spruce, hinoki cypress, weeping blue atlas cedar, weeping alaskan cedar

                                            Those are just a few of the many I use all the time in my designs. Even having just a few of these in 3D format would be worth the purchase of the collection.

                                            What you posted so far would not be of much benefit to a landscape designer in my climate, except as use in annual gardens and planters, with the exception of the liriope and ferns.

                                            Overall A+ on the modeling. I think it would behoove you to also release this collection in .vob format for Vue users, perhaps on cornicopia3d.com
