🌳 PVE PROCEDURAL VEGETATION: SYCAMORE MAPLE TREE PRESETS
Authentic Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) — TLS-Derived Branch Structures

💬 Discord Server Support
These are 100% custom-built presets featuring authentic Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) — one of the most characteristic broadleaf trees of Northern and Central European parks, forests, and countryside landscapes. This collection brings a new dimension to the series: all 58 tree structures are directly derived from real TLS scan data captured at Wytham Woods, Oxford, UK — one of the most studied woodland ecosystems in the world.
What makes this pack exceptional: the entire branch structure of every tree — from trunk to the finest twigs — is directly converted from real Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) measurements of actual trees. This is not photogrammetry — structurally accurate procedural geometry that reflects the true individual growth character of each specimen. Trunk diameter is also calibrated directly from the scan data.
Wind animation is driven by Quixel's Dynamic Wind Blueprint system. Season effects such as snow and autumn coloring are handled by a custom Season Blueprint included with this asset — fully compatible with the included foliage instances out of the box.

Overview Map & Wind Demo Map
The Overview Map contains all 58 tree variants and serves as the primary browsing and selection reference. The Wind Demo Map features a curated selection of trees to showcase wind animation — not all variants are included there.
All 58 trees are also visible in the product image gallery in the shop.
Required disk space: 3.4 GB (without cache files)
The Procedural Vegetation Editor is experimental in UE 5.8. Performance improvements are expected in future engine updates.
What You Get:
🌳 58 Unique PVE Sycamore Maple Tree Presets
Fully editable procedural tree structures
58 authentic Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) specimens
Exceptional variety of growth forms: upright, leaning, multi-stemmed, open-crown and dense-crown specimens
Winter variant (leafless) included as Static Mesh
Full Season support via included custom Season Blueprint
Foliage instances freely swappable — use your own leaf meshes anytime
Infinite variations through node-based customization
⚠️ Note: All 58 tree variants are visible in both the Overview Map and the product image gallery. Every tree shown is included as a pre-exported skeletal and static mesh.
🍃 About the Included Foliage Instances
The included foliage instances are the same proven high-performance Low Poly leaf meshes from the original PVE Procedural Vegetation: Broadleaf Tree Presets pack — tested and established as the best-performing option across the series. They deliver a high leaf density with excellent runtime performance. They are not a botanically exact representation of Sycamore Maple leaves, but serve as a high-quality visual stand-in.
The bark texture is also shared with the Broadleaf Park Tree Presets pack for visual consistency across the series.
Thanks to the full material and foliage flexibility of PVE presets, any customer can replace the included leaf instances at any time — including botanically accurate Sycamore Maple leaves — without modifying the underlying branch structure. This is one of the key advantages of procedural PVE assets over photogrammetry.

🍂 Full Season Support
Wind animation uses Quixel's Dynamic Wind Blueprint system. Season effects — including snow and autumn coloring — are controlled by a custom Season Blueprint included with this asset, designed to work with the included foliage instances. The winter leafless variant is additionally included as a pre-exported Static Mesh for direct placement without any Blueprint setup.
🔬 Real Scan Data — Not Photogrammetry
The structural accuracy of these presets goes far beyond artistic interpretation. The complete branch architecture of every tree — from trunk to the finest twigs — is directly derived from real TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) data captured at Wytham Woods, Oxford, UK. This data was processed through a multi-stage proprietary pipeline (TLS → spline structures → procedural conversion) — not photogrammetry.
The result is a level of structural authenticity that reflects the true individual growth character of each tree — impossible to achieve through purely artistic modelling.
