Potsdam, Germany – German digital botany company Laubwerk announces release 1.0.37 of SurfaceSPREAD as well as release 1.0.15 of Laubwerk Plants Kits, the collection of render-ready, realistic 3D plants designed specifically for architects, CG and VFX artists. The updates of Plants Kits 1-5 and of the Plants Kit Freebie are available immediately for 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini (Windows), Python (Windows).

The Laubwerk Plants Kit 1.0.15 update introduces Maxwell Render support. Laubwerk’s landscaping and scattering plugin SurfaceSPREAD for Cinema 4D got a bug-fix update. Existing Laubwerk Plants Kit and SurfaceSPREAD users get the updates for free.

Rob Redman, creative director, Pariah Studios, was the first artist to test the new feature: “For me the most important aspect of any tool is consistency. I need to know that when I press a button I’ll get what I expect, every time. Laubwerk gives me that peace of mind, as well as the quality of plants and materials and ease of use. Now, that Maxwell Render is supported that saves me even more time and gives me the best results possible”.

Juan Cañada, head of Maxwell Render Technology, states: “Plants Kits are straight-forward and powerful. It fits nicely into the workflow and provides a large number of plant type variations so you can stay creative with your work. Now that Maxwell Render is supported it’s even easier and quality is assured.”

Highlights of the Plants Kit 1.0.15 update are:

  • Added support for Maxwell Render for both Cinema 4D and 3ds Max
  • Added support for 3ds Max 2016
  • Extended importer dialog
  • Houdini Player plugin with significantly faster plant loading and new Laubwerk Plants Browser

Laubwerk Plants Kits allow architects, CG artists, and VXF specialists to insert photorealistic tree models into their 3D scenes quickly and easily, without the usual slow downs due to overly complicated parameters or excess memory usage. Laubwerk accomplishes this goal by giving users just the right amount of variation in their 3D tree models, without overwhelming the user or their computer. Each tree model comes in 3 shapes, with 3 ages, and 4 seasons per shape. Adjustable level of detail settings means that each tree looks great without slow navigation or long rendering times.
