These are 100% custom-built presets featuring authentic Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) — one of the most widespread and ecologically significant conifers of Central Europe. Unlike the Western American Edition which covered California and Pacific Northwest pine species, this collection is sourced exclusively from real Central European forest environments.
What sets this pack apart: not only the dead branch geometry, but also the upper areas of the living branches are partially derived from real Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) measurements of actual trees. This is not photogrammetry — it is structurally accurate procedural geometry informed by real-world scientific field data. The TLS pipeline produced branch structures of extraordinary organic complexity — forms that no hand-crafted model could replicate, reflecting the true individuality of each tree as it actually grew in the wild.
These presets give you exclusive access to the Foliage Voxel technology and are fully optimized for large-scale scene population without any bone count limitations.
⚡ These presets are fully optimized for large-scale scene population — no bone count limitations, skeletal and static meshes alike.
The Procedural Vegetation Editor is experimental in UE 5.7 and 5.8. Performance improvements are expected in future engine updates.
⚠️ Note: The cinematic trailer and some preview images feature a Quixel Megaplants: Baltic Pine bark material applied to demonstrate the full material flexibility of PVE presets. The included default material is visible in the overview images. One of the key advantages of procedural PVE assets over photogrammetry is that materials can be swapped freely at any time — use the included material, apply your own, or combine with any Quixel material of your choice.

🔬 Real Scan Data — Not Photogrammetry
The structural accuracy of these presets goes significantly beyond artistic interpretation. Both the dead branch geometry and the upper areas of living branches are partially derived from scientific TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) datasets of real Scots Pine trees from two Central European forest environments. This data was processed through a multi-stage proprietary pipeline.
Because needle-bearing branches cannot be captured with full precision during TLS scanning, the pipeline produced branch structures of extraordinary organic complexity — each tree carrying its own unique growth signature, impossible to achieve through purely artistic means. The end results are very close to the original trees, faithfully preserving the character of each individual specimen.
