Sketchup Plants, Trees, and Shrubs Archive

Sketchup Plants, Trees, and Shrubs Archive

We created an open source Sketchup plant resource and database in the form of a list of existing Sketchup trees and what trees they could be used for in 3D renderings. The page was created by our botanist with decades of experience who reviewed over 500 Sketchup plant models (every one we could find) and chose the best of the best from what was available. He then used his knowledge and experience to list other plants that the existing models could be substituted for. Use your browsers search function to find plants and comparable substitutions and watch the video for specific instructions on how to place these plants into models:http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/sketchup-plants/
