This looks like a great addon. Would it be possible to make art directed trees with this? I do a lot of stylized art and trees, like the ones in Frozen 2 with shaped canopies, are a big pain.

Hello,
we have some trees with this shape;)
this shouldn’t be a problem.

Lovely add-on again guys, only played around with it a couple of minutes so far, but I got a couple of sugestions realy regarding all the add-ons.

I think it would be nice if we could have (or atleast a preferance) to have all in one tab, n panel relestate is at a premium and saving some space there is always good, atleast until Blender does a bit of a revamp to make it a bit more “readable” when you have a lot of add-ons using n panel.

Second thing, and I think this goes for more of the add-ons you have with slight variations, is if it would deselect everything and select only the just added asset, like the trunks in Gardener. When I add a trunk I have to go look for it amongst the leafs if i just want to scale it a bit for instance, which would be a breeze if it was “auto selected”. Vegitation and Transportation adds the newly added asset to the current selection if I am not mistaken, would be lovely if they would do the same thing. Might be good as a preferance if someone prefers it the way it is, but a lot of other asset managers and similar add-ons do this by default.

Just my two cent, looking forward to putting this new add-on into production, cheers

Hi Elk,

Thanks a lot for your message. he’s very interesting.
Regarding the selection, you are right. we will update it in the next version;)

Regarding the N panel, again, you are right, it may be interesting to put everything in one “Bproduction” panel.

I will discuss it with my team.

thank you again for your encouragement;)
see you soon

I second this, doing everything in one n-panel.

At least until Blender offers us a better addon-on management.

hello nice addon,
one question!,
where is the scatpack for scatter5 or is it not official yet?
blendermarket only show me the Gardener_1.1_Pro.zip

thanks

Hi Walter,

I had to remove the .scatpack for the moment because Scatter5 is not ready yet. he was a little late. I should be able to add them in a few days

sorry for the setback
see you soon,

BD3D · December 11, 2021, 5:25pm

Thank you …

… both for the info.

HI,
I want to clarify some terms first. It seems the Blender community uses the word “Landscaping” as making relief meshes like mountains. I use the word “terrain” for that. A Google search of Landscaping will produce Landscapers, people who manage plants.
My question is, Anyone using Blender for Landscaping Design to plan clients Landscaping?
thanks for any insight
