Dripsleaves Plant Generator - Highly Versatile Procedural Plant Generator for Blender

DripsLeaves - Procedural Plant Generation

DripsLeaves lets you generate an infinite amount of plants.

It is based on a completely procedural setup with geometry nodes and shaders.

Included is a highly versatile Geometry Node Group and a flexible Shader Node Group.

See documentation for full information!

• 150+ Plant presets - fully customizable

• 50+ Material presets - fully customizable

• 1 highly versatile Geometry Node Group

• 1 highly flexible Shader Node Group

• Additional Shader Node Groups and helpers

• Prepared as Asset Library for Blender Asset Browser

• Instructions and Setup to export geometry and textures for external applications

• Documentation included in .blend file

• 3 example scenes

• Additional node groups to create high definition plants
• Additional node group to create plants without alpha texture
• Advanced Scattering Node
• And much more!
  

Created with performance in mind.

Works in Eevee and Cycles.

Future updates are free.

Update 0.2:

• Added parameter to limit the leaf to the ground plane to avoid clipping problems

  

• New Geometry Node Group and Shader Node Group to generate HD Plants! (Beta)

  

• Topology optimization

• Minor Bug Fix
  

Update 0.3:

• New parameter to switch between different leaf shapes

  

• Shape optimization - leaves stay sharp even on super close macro shots

  

• Better normal maps

  

• Included a script to automize the process of converting geometry node objects to meshes with proper UV's

  

• New plant and material presets in asset library
• Minor node optimizations

Update 0.4:

• Optimized node layout
• Since Blender 3.5, the script to convert the geometry is not needed anymore.
  Simply convert your object to a mesh and UV maps are created automatically.

  

• Deleted "DripsLeaves Maps" and "DripsLeaves UVsToMaps" nodes, because there is no need for them anymore.
  This simplifies the whole setup dramatically.
• Added better documentation
• Added Seed value to the DripsLeaves Shader
• Added optional normal and UV inputs  to the DripsLeaves Shader

Update 0.5:

Please note that this update only works for Blender 4.0 and up.
Older versions are still available for download.

• The new update includes a generator and shader for plants with no transparency.
  In certain scenarios, it is preferable to render a scene without alpha clipping, and the “DripsLeaf Generator_NoAlpha” node makes this possible.

  

• Additionally, there is a setup to export textures for the “DripsLeaf Generator_NoAlpha”

  

• New plant presets that make use of the new generator

  

• The shader and geometry node groups are now better organized by making use of the nodes panels introduced with Blender 4.0

  

• The slack and ground limiter now take the rotation of the plant into account

  

• The HD and NoAlpha generators now utilize a taper curve to define the shape of the leaves

  

• The generators have been split into three separate files
• The asset library has been organized into three separate categories
• Some node optimizations
• Updated the documentation

Update 0.6:

Please note that this update only works for Blender 4.3 and up.
Older versions are still available for download.

• Advanced Scattering Node Group

  

• Experimental Wind Node Group

  

• Added new parameters "Growth Factor" to the plant generator and "Specular Tint" to the shader
• Added Tooltips to all Node Groups
• Interface optimizations
• Fixes Alpha Blending Error introduced in Blender 4.3
