ngPlant is described as 'Plant modeling software package. ngPlant interactive tool can be used to create 3D models of different plants and trees. ngPlant software libraries can be used by developers in their 3D applications, or plant modeling plugins' and is a 3D Modeler in the photos & graphics category. There are nine alternatives to ngPlant for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Cinema 4D and Autodesk Maya apps. The best ngPlant alternative is powerPlant, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like ngPlant are GroIMP, SpeedTree, Arbaro and Plant Factory.
powerPlant is a plant modelling tool based on parametric plant descriptions, producing highly detailed models that can be exported to 3ds. Deriving similar plants is a matter of 1 click! Complete scenes can be composited with the integrated scene editor.
