Procedural Plant Creator
A dedicated node-graph editor for authoring procedural plants: 44 hand-tuned species presets, live preview, true 4-level LODs baked to Nanite-capable Static Meshes, and a full Python/Blueprint scripting bridge.
About This Product
Procedural Plant Creator lets you author plants the way you author materials: in a purpose-built graph editor with a live 3D preview, a node palette, and per-node details. 20 generator node types cover trunk and roots, branching and crown generation, four-class tube skinning, trunk fluting, leaves, leaf cards, fronds, instanced foliage scatter, fruit, and wind weights, plus curve and value utility nodes. 44 species presets are distinct hand-tuned graph wirings, not re-skins: English Oak, Silver Birch, Weeping Willow, Scots Pine, Japanese Maple, Giant Bamboo, Date Palm, Italian Cypress, Norway Spruce, Japanese Cherry, and more. Pick one from the toolbar and the graph re-wires itself. Four LOD levels are generated by actual re-tessellation and branch-order dropping, not decimation of LOD0, then baked at author time into a single Static Mesh (optionally Nanite-enabled) with trunk collision. The default cook policy bakes each plant to static meshes and HISM leaf instance sets, so a packaged game does zero graph work. Per-actor seed, LOD, parameter overrides, seasonal palettes, wind and material overrides let one graph asset populate a varied landscape. White Studio preview and three original concept recipes support silhouette authoring. Toolbar export includes the complete canopy. Async, thread-pooled ground conforming roots adapt to your terrain. The scripting bridge exposes the whole workflow to Python and Blueprint. Browse all 44 preset graphs under ProceduralPlantCreator/Species in plugin content. The separate example project contains showcase maps.

Real 4-Level LODs
Four LOD levels generated by re-tessellation and branch-order dropping, baked into one Nanite-capable Static Mesh with trunk collision. Default cook policy does zero graph work in a packaged game.

Landscape Variation From One Graph
Per-actor seed, LOD, parameter overrides, and bark/leaf/fruit material overrides let one graph asset populate a varied landscape. Leaves render as HISM instance sets.
