Realistic 3D Tree Models

Laubwerk uses a hybrid of procedural modeling and hand-detailing by botanist and 3D artists to make the most realistic CG trees.

  • Each species comes render-ready, with preset materials and textures for the built-in renderer (3ds Max & Cinema 4D), V-Ray (3ds Max & Cinema 4D) and mental ray (3ds Max).
  • Leaves consist of more than just a single polygon, so they bend and catch highlights.
  • Textures are based on high quality photos from real trees.
  • Models maintain shape and density, regardless of detail level.

System Requirements

  • Autodesk 3ds Max or 3ds Max Design (2010-2015) or MAXON Cinema 4D (R12-16)
  • A computer that is capable of running your version(s) of 3ds Max or Cinema 4D
  • 10MB of hard disk space and additional space for the Laubwerk Plants models and textures
  • Optionally V-Ray 1.5 or higher for 3ds Max or VRAYforC4D
