Andrew, good to hear from!

Firstly, it great stuff you are putting out!
And I'm glad to hear the Oz plants are still on the way.....can't wait to see the King's Park Special.
There is a real need for local native plants but I do understand we have a pretty small market down here.

[And its about time, BTW, that I flashed the plastic! ]

Stu, nice to meet you.

The Kings park special is coming along nicely, its a lot of work but then again it will be well worth the effort.

And the fact that the plants are Australian and New Zealand natives should not be overlooked.

Almost everything from that Sketchup $49.50 collection is very popular in the northern hemisphere.
The Cabbage trees for instance are extremely common throughout the UK, they call them Cabbage palms over there and are used a lot in modern landscaping due to their hardiness in colder climates.

The Phoriums are popular in the UK and the States, they are grown in huge numbers especially in the warmer climates like California.

The free Ozbreed plants sell in their millions, again, extremely popular in Europe and the States - which is where Todd Layt (Ozbreed director) is at the moment.

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any requests for the Australian library Stu.

Solo, Mike

Thanks so much for these links.

For the past few weeks I have lost a serious amount of sleep doing several large 3d site models that are heavily foliaged. Putting in the foliage has got me behind with the project, but it is a requirement and I've started so I'll finish. I have trawled the net and I thought I'd found every free 2d pr plant out there - most weren't much good. I've spent many a coffee fuelled hour trying to make my own. But these links are great. I might actually finish the project today!

P.S. Anybody know where I can find aerial shots of trees, that I could use on a plan view - tried Google Earth, too fuzzy.

Stu

Jon,

You have looked at http://archiforge.com/
and http://vyonyx.com/index.php/category/down/cutout-trees ?
And http://www.got3d.com/ has a generous selection of samples.

Thanks Stu,

Yes I have checked these sites, Vyonyx is great. What would speed things up most would be top view photos of trees, I haven't found any on the net, but I've made a few half decent looking ones. I think for my next project I'll have to go to a tall building and photograph some trees from the top!

Thanks for the heads-up on these Solo. I too would request more northern-bound trees, but would add a request for shrubs.

A shrubbery? Sounds like a Monty Python sketch is about to happen...
