Hi everyone,
I’m trying to export a tree from PlantFactory 2024 to Blender using USD format, but I keep getting this warning:
“Warning: you are exporting a plant that contains billboards. Billboards are usually not very well supported in other 3D applications. For consistent results, please use real-geometry leaves rather than billboards.”
The problem I’m experiencing is that when I import the plant into Blender, some leaves don’t appear correctly and seem to face the wrong direction or disappear depending on the camera angle.
I’ve already tried changing the leaf orientation settings and selecting multiple leaves in the Graph Editor, but I’m still getting this warning.
Has anyone successfully exported a PlantFactory plant with billboard leaves to Blender? How did you convert the billboard leaves into real geometry leaves before export?
Any step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
