Laubwerk Freebie Upgrade: Double Content, Free Kit

POTSDAM, Germany - Aug. 28, 2014 - PRLog -- German digital botany software company Laubwerk today announces a free content upgrade of the Plants Kit Freebie in conjunction with a software update of the Laubwerk Plants Kits, the collection of render-ready, realistic 3D trees designed specifically for CG artists and architects. The new releases are available immediately for 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Python.

The newest release of the Laubwerk Plants Kit Freebie adds 2 more free plant species to the fully-functional demo version. In addition to the already available two species, the tropical red frangipani tree and the temperate compact field maple, we have added the Turkish pine, a distinctive Mediterranean conifer, and the temperate common broom, a shrub with yellow flowers. Each perfect for ornamental purposes in parks and gardens. Thus, the Freebie is now featuring 4 species in 3 variants, 3 ages and 4 seasons (144 models total).

Release 1.0.11 also introduces, along with the regular set of fixes and improvements for both 3ds Max and Cinema 4D, including support for MAXON Cinema 4D R16. Furthermore, the update adds French localization to the Plants Kits for Cinema 4D – thanks to the the collaboration with the French MAXON Cinema 4D distributor Mediaworks. The update is free for existing customers!

Last but not least Laubwerk would like to invite all Cinema 4D users to visit the new Laubwerk page at MAXON.net (http://www.maxon.net/laubwerk). MAXON has just published a stunning demo scene, and handy tutorial (German only) for free download. The scene and tutorial were created by our customer Zoran 'Kizo' Gorski, architectural visualization specialist and creative director of Arscom Studio, Croatia, and showcases the new Laubwerk Freebie Plants.

To get your Plants Kit or Plants Kit Freebie update, sign in to your Laubwerk Account and download a fresh installer of your Plants Kit. Windows users are advised to uninstall previous versions of the Laubwerk Player plugin before running the new installer.

Laubwerk Plants Kits allow 3D artists and architects 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.


All Laubwerk Plants Kits are each available for 149 Euro (w/o VAT) at http://www.laubwerk.com/store and selected resellers. The free Plants Kit Freebie is available for download at Laubwerk's online store, too.
