The principles of design that you've developed with this program are excellent, particularly as it works with Rhino, which is the standard modelling program within our office. It provides a lot of tools we've been looking for for a long time. I do agree with one of the comments below regarding the quality of the planting models. I think in particular the trees. We're one of the UKs biggest landscape practices and would be very interesting in working with your program, however I know with the type of clients we work with, particularly in Asia, would want to see slightly more refined detail with the planting models. We often use Lumion, quixel (unreal engine) and 3ds Max for a lot of our 3d designs. In terms of planting models these are the 'best practice' in terms of quality. I really don't say any of this to be critical. I think the program you've put together is amazing and could really be an asset to landscape architects, but its perhaps a step or two away from competing with the top programs from a visualising perspective. If the planting was upgraded, we would buy your program tomorrow.
Hi Ronan, thanks for the feedback! We are including new plant species with improved representations in each update. Actually, many of the realistic representations of the species included in the plant database were created with a plant editor that now has an improved version that generates plants with much better quality. You can identify the plants created with the new editor because they have the "ArTree" file format, while those generated with the old editor have the "ArPlantX" format. It would be helpful if you can report those plants that you expected to look better, so we can improve their appearance in future versions. Feel free to write them here or to our support email: landsdesign@asuni.com. Thanks!
Hi Julian, we will prepare something to show the combination of VisualARQ+Lands Design. If you have any questions about working with both programs, please write to us to visualarq@asuni.com or landsdesign@asuni.com
Hi Eduardo, at the moment it includes +8200 species, including several tropical plants. In case you do not find your list of favorites, ask us to add them in the further versions.
As a person who tried it out, this program is quite easy to use. But, I think the qualities of plants in this program should be upgraded (especially trunk)
Thanks for the feedback! Please could you send us an email to landsdesign@asuni.com, pointing out the species you consider should be improved? That way we can work on that in future releases.
Hello, The plants editor is not working. After I edit the plant and exit and click save, the shape of the tree doesnt change. Can I please get help with this
Hi Kaizer, have you assigned the saved plant representation to the plant species afterwards? also take into account that realistic plants can handle different representations according to seasons. Check if the season you have set to the Document is the one assigned to the plant realistic representation you have created. Please write us to landsdesign@asuni.com to discuss this further.
Hi Bernard, just insert a plant in the scene. Make sure you are not selecting it or anything else. Check the Edit panel again. Do you still see only the "General" tab?
Hi M.A. Baldo, Lands Design is only available for PC. We may develop a version for MAC in the future, but it's a long term project and we don't have plans to work on it soon.

congratulations for this tool, I would like the walk mode to have colliders, but applause for land design
Hell yes!!! Walk mode is awesome, how about a Lands Design + VisualArq workflow tutorial?? Would be very helpful👍🏻

Amazing, thanks a lot !!! I would like to know if we have a good varieties of plants, specially tropical plants

When will this run native on Apple Silicon?
Unfortunately, we do not have any plant to develop it for Mac. Hope you have the possibility to run it on Windows.
Hi there :
From where I can get the file that you used on webinar
I want use it for practicing
Hi Omran, send us an email to landsdesign@asuni.com, and we will share the file with you.
my edit panel only shows "general" and not other options
Hi Bernard, just insert a plant in the scene. Make sure you are not selecting it or anything else. Check the Edit panel again. Do you still see only the "General" tab?
Is this plugin compatible with the Mac version of Rhino?
Hi M.A. Baldo, Lands Design is only available for PC. We may develop a version for MAC in the future, but it's a long term project and we don't have plans to work on it soon.
How easy is it to export the final scene to Blender?
Are you to upgrade materials to be PBR for Cycles in Rhino?
maybe you are right
How do you scale the plants>?
Hi Chloe, you can scale the plant (basically changing its size) from the Lands Edit Panel. You can watch this in the minute 13:39 of this webinar.
@@RhinoLands Yes I found it . Thank you so much.
