HQ Plants Free vol. Manual

Cinema4D is the best software for architecture visualisation, thats mine imho ;-) Advanced Render 3 and VRAYforC4D are high end available render systems, thats mine second imho. Almost the whole architectural Visualization business changed to Vray over the last years and the trend is ongoing, but not only architects, also product designer and other areas jumped on the train. After its enormous success on the market Vray has become also the renderer of choice in big production studios across the world. Feature film productions, multi-million dollar game productions have trusted their visuals to Vray.

This tree pack was specially madded for use with VRAYforC4D and Advanced Render 3, it also can be used with any other render engine that can be used in Cinema4D, but there was some preparation to use it fast and smooth with VRAYforC4D and Advanced Render.
