3DS Max eco-system?

[Rendermedia]

Hi all

 

I am updating a flythru I did a while back where I only used 2d facing planes with a texture and alpha map,

 

I have been looking at Vue 6 as a possible alternative as the eco system looks great, however has anyone else used this in conjunction with Max at all,

 

In Vue 5 infinite the ecosystem trees are a render effect so you cannot the trees into max in max, or so I am led to believe?

 

Is anyone out there having to produce waves of forests or trees, and is vue the best ap out there,

 

I know of tree storm and the likes however they are great for generating single trees that you have to manually place around by hand,

 

Kind Regards

Mark

there are several green-stuff possibilities for max. e.g greenworks xfrog in combination with vray´s proxy and particle-flow you can place hundrets of plants in the scene. further there is bionics natfx this is also nice because it has more control over your polycount and distance detail. e.g you can create cards and 2.5D for the backround. more for the gaming developing is speedtree but it has some nice looking comicstyle trees. hope it helps
