Bionatics announced the release of version 5 of its 3D plant modeler for Max. New features include: display of real-time proxies in viewport, vegetation loading alert (an alert is issued when the poly count overpasses a certain threshold), a new NatFX material library integrated with the Material Editor (allows users to quickly customize bark, leaf, flowers and fruit materials of any plant) and editing/modification of multiple plants in a 3DS Max scene at once.
