Hothouse 3D

Hothouse 3D


Hothouse 3D is a system for creating, storing and organizing 3D models for a wide variety of plants, shrubs and trees. Each Hothouse spece can spawn myriad plant variations, each with diffuse, bump, normal and specular maps. The spece editor gives real time feed back so that a representative plant model can be viewed at every stage as it is moulded into shape. Multiple seasonal texture maps may be applied for generating plants with foliage appropiate to any time of the year. Full control over the required level of detail enables models containing from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of triangles to be saved to a standard .obj or .3ds file.
