Here’s a typical case of 4600 Enscape plants placed to follow the planters of some buildings.
Using Grasshopper I can pick the top surface of each planter, then place the Enscape blocks on this surface, and randomly rotate them to get rid of repetition.
Afther this I can split those blocks into different groups, to have different plants.
If the buildings change in shape I can just rebake the blocks and I’m done.
Enscape does this using blocks with lowpoly meshes inside as placeholders, acting like proxy objects.
I love Enscape but 95euro/month is very unfriendly for small businesses.
