Important Unreal Engine 5.8 Notice

CropCraft PVE Plugin was created for the Unreal Engine 5.7 Procedural Vegetation workflow.

Starting with Unreal Engine 5.8, Procedural Vegetation Editor is expected to support importing static meshes directly and converting them into the Procedural Vegetation system.

Because of this, the main function of this plugin will be available natively in Unreal Engine 5.8, so the plugin will not receive a UE 5.8 update.

If you are using Unreal Engine 5.7, you can still use this plugin for the existing workflow.

If you are planning to use Unreal Engine 5.8, we recommend waiting for the native system instead of purchasing this plugin.

CropCraft PVE Tool is a C++ plugin for Unreal Engine that converts SpeedTree Raw XML exports into ready to use Procedural Vegetation Editor (PVE) presets.

The tool analyzes tree hierarchy data and rebuilds it into a format compatible with the Procedural Vegetation system. This removes the need for manual data preparation and allows you to focus entirely on vegetation design inside Unreal Engine.

With built in foliage distribution controls, you can define how foliage is assigned across different height zones of the tree. The system supports Single, Layered, and Mixed modes, enabling natural variation and flexible vegetation setups.

Designed to integrate into existing environment workflows, the plugin works with a wide range of tree structures without requiring strict naming rules.

Key Features:

• Converts SpeedTree Raw XML files into PVE preset data

• Automatically rebuilds tree structure using hierarchy information

• Supports Single, Layered, and Mixed foliage distribution modes

• Zone based foliage assignment for realistic vegetation variation

• No manual editing of exported data required

• Works directly inside Unreal Engine as a C++ plugin

• Compatible with different tree structures and workflows

Workflow:

• Create your tree in SpeedTree

• Export as Raw XML

• Load the XML file in CropCraft PVE Tool

• Assign foliage meshes and settings

• Generate a ready to use PVE preset
