The plug-in for ZBrush is not only useful for easily creating trees with elaborate branches; it can also be used to copy and paste Zsperes easily for many other purposes.
As the long explanation of the plug-in already suggests, however, it is not a one-click solution for an outstanding CG tree; several adjustments are still necessary.
All further information about ZTree can be found here.
The free download is available directly here.
Anyone who needs more extensions for the workflow – for example for Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Nuke, Blender or After Effects – should take a look at the current DP issue.
