When nature calls

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

sounds reasonable! Thanks

So what's the latest on this?

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

have a look at their forum on their site, they seem to updater the news there.
had a look couple of days ago...no sign of foliage still

[peterguthrie]

so... any news?

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

i would say ...judging by the previous posts...its gonna be any time soon

I've been using the library function for several months, Davy has been very responsive to any problems I've had. They are still developing the different aspects of the plugins that come in the package, once everything works the library function alone will be worth the price you pay. I haven't seen any mention of foliage yet so it will probably be some time before it's ready.

We are finishing the WacoPlants plugin for a first release. The other 4 plugins of MDO Plants are into place and will get several new features after WacoPlants release. It's an ongoing project with so many aspects of which we want to cover as much as possible over time.

MDO Plants is more than just another scatter plugin and the wide range of features (especially WacoPlants) makes it complex to develop but you get a lot of features from different plugins that work together to create advanced nature sets.

A new WacoPlants animation is on the way.

I hope that's a better phrase?

Wondering if somebody HEARD nature calling... guess someone wants dinner first before doing business

[Olli96]

Nope, its still in progress. Been a while but i am testing it for quite some time and its getting better and better.

[trick]

OK! Hope they don't wait releasing until it's TOO good ..... or I might be TOO old to remember this thread ....

[Macker]

This looks amazing.

One question that I might have missed, despite having skimmed through the whole thread; is it possible to use your own geometry with this, along with the plants system?

What if I wish to custom build my own plants to use? Logic dictates that you had to build the plants for this somehow; will we have access to the plant builder too?

[Olli96]

Yes, you can use your own models, only the animation feature of the mdo plants wont work on your own models. I dont know If they release the plant builder too, i guess you have to wait till Davy sees this thread and replies. They havent released their own models yet for us beta tester so i cant really tell you if they can be customized or adjusted...

[devin]

From what Davy has told me there will be a foliage editor so you can create your own stuff but that's going to be a separate application.

Honestly, I've written this off - if it takes this long to create, imagine how long it will take to fix bugs and other related maintenence!
