Using LivePlants
A totally new idea of plants in the scene is introduced in iClone 2. You may purchase more LivePlants packages from our website:http://www.reallusion.com/templates/linkcount/linkcount.asp?lid=iceus58.
The Advantages of the LivePlants:
Large number – Simply double-click on any one template in the LivePlants under the 3D Scene gallery, abundant plants grow automatically. It saves a lot of time for you to plant one after another.
Good performance – Though there are amount of plants in the scenes when you apply the template, the consumption of the resources for the operating system remains low.
Navigate LOD ( level of detail ) – The closer the plants to the camera, the more detail can be rendered or seen. With this design, your projects look much more similar to the real world.
Dynamic wind – This is one of the most powerful features. The plants simulate the passing-by of the wind by swaying on their own. No further adjustments of parameters needed and your project turns out to be vital!
Limitation:
Pixel shader needed: Your graphic card must support pixel shader so the live plants appear. Please also turn on the pixel shader in the preference.
Shadowless: The plants don’t cast shadow in this version.
Un-resizable: If you resize the scene with live plants in it, the plants remain their size while other objects in the scene change.
