Landscaping vol.2 contains 3D plant models of trees and shrubs pruned into a wide array of hedges and topiaries. Each species includes 9 variations in age, size and shape for a total of 180 highly detailed, fully textured 3D models. Use these specialized outdoor landscaping forms in any outdoor scenes requiring 'human touch'.

History

The concept behind Xfrog is to give the user, powerful building blocks of Nature as modeling tools. Rather than draw, loft, extrude, revolve, the user procedurally defines organic forms using sliders.
XfrogPlants, are 30 libraries of popular plants, (2000+ plant models), and are built by botanical experts who gather real leaves and bark and painstakingly match photographic references to derive 3-9 variations of each Species of plants that they model.
The XfrogPlants are in all popular 3d formats and available as individual models, libraries, and bundles of libraries in our online shop.

In XfrogPlants Version 3.0 Landscaping Library vol.2 included:

- Acer platanoides
This 3D Norway Maple contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: Norway Maple is a popular choice for urban decoration around the world, especially for medium-sized streets and small parks. The Autumn colors are intense and varied. It is chosen as urban decoration because of it??™s tolerance for air pollution in big cities. In the USA it has become an infesting species, because it takes the place of native essences.
- Buxus sempervirens
This 3D Boxwood contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: The Boxwood is a small tree or shrub native to the Mediterranean regions. In ancient Greece it used to be sacred to Ades, the infernal God, who protected the evergreen plants because they symbolized the ongoing life through the infernal season (the Winter). Today, the Boxwood has reached worldwide success as urban decoration species because of the dense foliage and exceptional tolerance to repeated pruning and shaping. Recently, creative gardeners have started to give birth also to unusual shapes such as those of animals.
- Buxus sempervirens hedges
This 3D Boxwood (hedges) contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: The most popular use of Boxwood in urban decoration and topiary art, is to create hedges. The high density of the branches and leaves allows the expert gardeners to create almost any shape with a solid appearance. For this reason, the Boxwood has become the most important plant for the creation of Italian-style gardens. The wood of Boxwood is one of the hardest existing and is used industrially for many types of woodwork.
- Buxus sempervirens var. Aureomarginata
This 3D Golden-leaved Boxwood contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: This with the golden edged leaves is one of the several decorative cultivars derived from the wild species. Gardeners have to give special care and frequent pruning to this subspecies, because, if let grow freely and without selective pruning, the golden leaves will progressively disappear, giving room to the normal leaves, whose genes are dominant.
- Carpinus betulus hedges
This 3D European Hornbeam (hedges) contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: The European Hornbeam is a medium sized tree, but in the countryside of the native areas, it is often found in the young, shrubby form, because it is rarely allowed to grow old and tall. It is a species that is hardy and rustic, and resists well to pollution and to pruning. For this reason, it is sometimes used for urban decoration also today, although it??™s period of maximum popularity was in the 19th century. Here the species is presented as hedges, created by gardeners using the often multi-branching structure of the young exemplars.
- Carpinus betulus Hornbeam
This 3D European Hornbeam contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: The Latin name Carpinus comes from two Celtic words, ???car"""""""" meaning wood, and ???pin??? meaning head. The reason is that in the past, the wood from this tree was used to build the yokes. It??™s tolerance towards pruning makes it ideal for urban decoration. The life span of this species is relatively short (150 years of average life). It??™s native range covers most Europe, except for Spain and for the lands north of Wales.
- Carpinus betulus hedges

- Chamaecyparis sp. bushes
This 3D False Cypress (bushes) contains nine highly detailed, fully textured 3D models of the plant at different ages.
Notes: False-cypresses are a genus of trees that are native of the Northern Hemisphere. They are found (with different species) in Western North America and in Eastern Asia (Japan, China). It??™s a tree that loves oceanic climate, with moderate temperatures all around the year. There are species of this tree that grow as shrubs, and are used in garden decoration to create bushes and edges, which look rich in foliage thanks to the dense evergreen crown.
