Plants created with Plant Factory can be exported to any 3D application using export formats such as Alembic, FBX, 3DS, OBJ, C4D, LWO, etc.

Plants are exported fully rigged*, fully textured, with UV maps and displacement. Breeze or wind animated plants can be exported as a fully rigged mesh or as a cloud of animated vertices* (MDD style).

You can fine-tune the animation of rigged* mesh plants directly inside your target 3D application.
