powerPlant is a powerful program that generates and edits 3D shapes and geometries. With its advanced features, it offers users an easy and intuitive way to create stunning designs and structures.
The powerPlant software is a powerful geometry generator and editor that is specifically designed for creating terrain and plant models. With custom implementations of the L-Systems, Turtle-Interpretation, and the Diamond-and-Square algorithm, this software is capable of complex and realistic modeling.
The application itself is composed of a Java application that provides the main application logic and external Haskell programs that provide the geometry generation. By supplying a minimum amount of parameters, powerPlant can create models that can be combined recursively to make up complete scenes. These scenes can be viewed in a WYSIWYG tree view, making it easy to create and edit models.
In addition to its powerful modeling capabilities, powerPlant also features an integrated terrain tool that can generate various colored, tileable textures. All work results, including models and scenes, can be loaded and saved in an XML file.
The user interface of powerPlant is intuitive and easy to use, thanks to its convenient Java Swing GUI. This software is designed to shorten the process of creating 3D models and virtual landscapes with real-time visualization. Visualization is based on OpenGL/GLU API with adjustable speed optimizations.
To use powerPlant, you will need Java 1.5, GHC 6.4, and jsr231 (jogl) installed on your system. Installation is as simple as running the command "java -jar powerPlant-install-1.0.0.0.jar".
This latest release of powerPlant features major file reorganization, user-defined inputs, sample projects, and a quick start guide. If you are looking for a powerful geometry generator and editor that can create complex and realistic 3D models, powerPlant is the software for you.
