xfrogAutodesk and Greenworks’ XFrog have teamed up to offer 100 render-quality textures and models of trees, grass, and plants to 3D Studio Max users via their Autodesk Seek tool.

Xfrog libraries are created from original photos, reference sketches, books and real samples of each plant. Bark, leaves and petals are scanned to create high-quality, realistic models. Users can download TIF texture files, as well as ZIP files that contain multiple versions of the vegetation – representing different ages, seasons, colors and sizes in varying amounts of detail. The detailed vegetation can also be simplified using the enhanced ProOptimizer in 3ds Max Design 2010 or the Polygon Reduction Tool in Autodesk Maya 2009 software.
