Yes, but unfortunately, not for free. I am creating XfrogPlants libraries
since year 2000 ;-)
I'm not alone in this of course, there are other collaborators. I am
specialized in trees and shrubs, other people do the flowers and
plants/grasses.
My latest efforts are Africa, Bonsai and Prehistoric.
You can take a look:

Sorry for the shameless promo - the occasion was too inviting to let it go

Oh but does this means that it WILL be there eventually in C5? :-)
Can this be confirmed please?
It's long time I am looking for a renderer that supports translucency for
the leaves. Indispensable to render my work properly.
Vue does support it but only for native vegetation. I still have to study
the function editor though, there may be a way through it. Cinema 4D does
not support it, one has to fake it with the SLA shaders, but it's tricky and
it's not really like the real thing.
Max and Maya are way beyond my financial possibilities.
I am told that Lightwave 9 will support it. Lightwave has a price tag
comparable to Carrara Pro so these are my alternative. It will be either
Lightwave 9 or C5 Pro. I am leaning towards Carrara, because it'll have a
sweeter learning curve for me. But the translucency support will be
decisive.
I have another question - how will do Carrara 5 Pro with regards to multi
pass rendering? Will it render separate channels for at least the main
things (object channel - radiosity channel - shadow channel - these are the
most important - actually a colour/diffuse channel would not hurt).
Thanks much Ringo
