Not sure who to ask about this, but maybe someone from SideFx would know...

Are the Flora foliage tools shown with Project Pegasus no longer in development? https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/project-pegasus-flora/ [www.sidefx.com]

Looks like something similar is being made by the same people, but as a 3rd party plugin? Project Elderwood/Natsura?

Feike Postmes and George Hulm are leading that one too. Is Flora dead then?

Speaking tentatively, as I don't want to speak entirely for them, but as far as I'm aware Flora was the prototype made for Pegasus, which was then developed further into what has become Natsura by Feike and George as a standalone product. It is being demoed as part of Project Elderwood.

Ah alright, I think i got the impression that Flora was a feature or something that would get developed in full, but thats good to know. Thanks!

Hi! I co-developed the Flora prototype while working part-time on a sidefx marketing project. While both I and Feike continue to work with Sidefx on other marketing projects, Natsura is our full-time commitment.

It turns out it's quite tricky to build a speedtree killer, so it's taking some time, but things are looking good and we'll have updates soon.
