I have a very large NASA campus to show in stills. I can create everythign in a flat 2D plan however for the best result it works better with masses for the buildings. I don't need a true rendeing just a nice view to clip.
I was going to use RPC thinking the trees woudl be more managable as I can spend days building trees. suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi Eric,
Why not use the Xfrog trees we deliver with SS3? They have 150 more free ones in MicroStation format and the entire library is dirt cheap 1/2 off regular price. You can put hundreds of these in and they should render just fine. http://xfrog.com/150-free-3d-plants-and-trees/

I will try but I was concerned as I was talking about 3-400 trees and concerned that woudl crash everything.

OK so here is the final question here. any issues with these being placed within a compound cell?
I want to combine the 3d tree with a 2d colored plan of the tree. Will these trees render as is?
The Xfrog trees are render ready meaning they have materials attached they will render with materials.
OK I am going down that path. the end will be in the thousands of trees.
It is rendering well in MS however in ABD it crashes (NOT ABD) but the rendering dialog. No error message.
I started with a flat piece of dirt and 30-40 trees.
The dirt has two different parts from ABD. and then the trees as delivered from xfrog.
The Number of trees and the ABD piece are concerns.
Once this site is built the first products are an overview from the top and then a section down the middle. then I will stretch to an ISO of the site.
