Real-time capable botany and landscape software technology.
Product Overview
Lenné3D’s Déjàvu3D™ Plug-in for ESRI ArcGIS 9.2 provides realistic Flora3D™ plant models for symbolising point features in 3D ArcScene and ArcGlobe display. The awarded, interactive plant rendering technology offers detailed representation and performance. The plug-in is version 1.1.1 (April 23, 2008). It adds a Toolbar to both applications.
Key Features
- Free plug-in
- Access to Lenné3D's Flora3D LoD plant models
- Dynamic Level-of-Detail (LoD)
System Requirements
- ESRI ArcGIS Desktop with 3D Analyst extension
- OpenGL 2.0 GPU (e.g. GeForce 7 or 8 series, ATI X1600 or better), onboard Intel GPUs are not supported.
- x86 CPU with SSE2 support, e.g. Intel Pentium 4 (since 2000) or newer generations, Intel Celeron (NetBurst/ since 2002) or newer, AMD K8 generation (since 2003) or newer generations, e.g. Athlon 64, Sempron, Opteron, Turion 64.
- WindowsXP or Windows XP x64
-
ESRI .NET Support Feature for ArcGIS. To check for the ESRI .NET Support Feature for ArcGIS, navigate to the location on your hard drive where you installed ArcGIS Desktop and look for the DotNet folder. For example, go to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DotNet. If you do not find the DotNet folder, you will need to access ArcGIS either on CD or via your network. Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, select ArcGIS Desktop, and click Change.
- Before you start the ArcGIS plug-in, you need to have Entrée3D installed and running and to sign in to Entrée3D to use licensed Flora3D models. For testing you don't need Entrée3D since the Plug-in comes with two test Flora3D models.
How to Use
- Start ArcScene or ArcGlobe.
- Load a Point Shapefile, e.g. c:⁄Marche3D/Data/Random_Tree_Shrubs.shp
- Check if the Déjàvu3D Toolbar has been loaded (View > Toolbars > Déjàvu3D Tools)
- Open Déjàvu3D Tools by pressing on the first magenta button.
- Select the Tree layer, e.g. Random_Tree_Shrubs.shp.
- Click on the 2nd tab "Model Definition" and choose in the Column Mapping the attribute for Model Code, e.g. Veg_Name, press the button "Get Model Code".
- Click below in the Model Lookup table to link values to a Flora3D model, choose a Flora3D model for every value.
- Press Apply, the Flora3D models are loaded
- Press the 2nd magenta button to start the rendering of the Flora3D models.
- When you want to use more foliage please proceed as follows:
- Download and install Entrée3D and the 3D database Marché3D.
- Open Marché3D and create your Lenné3D ID (using Marché3D's Create Account feature).
- Get a license.
- Start Entrée3D and login (got to Windows Start > Programme > Lenne3D > Enree3D and start Entrée3D. You need to sign in to Entrée3D before you start the ArcGIS plug-in.
New Features, Fixes
- [1.1.1] The plug-in reads the the point layer's Base Height settings to position the plants on a DEM.
Known Issues
- Currently, settings and plant mappings cannot be saved in an ArcGlobe/ArcScene project, instead use the Export Plant Map Feature in the Déjàvu3D Settings to export your mapping to be able import it the next time you open the project.
