The End of an Era for Digital Botanical Resources
A turning point for architects, landscapers, and 3D artists: Globe Plants, the prestigious Australian digital vegetation library, has announced the closure of its online store. 🍃 Founded in 2019, it became a benchmark for its collection of over 980 plant species modeled with exquisite detail. Starting October 1, 2025, its vast catalog will no longer be sold independently and will be fully integrated into the Chaos ecosystem, the giant behind V-Ray and Corona.
A Transition to a Unified Ecosystem
The closure does not mean the disappearance of the models, but their migration to Chaos Cosmos. This asset library, included in V-Ray and Corona subscriptions, will be the new home for all of Globe Plants' vegetation. 🌳 For users of these rendering engines, access will be greatly simplified, allowing them to drag and drop plants directly into their scenes without manual downloads. It is a strategic move that reflects the trend toward all-in-one platforms in the 3D industry.
The store closure is a natural step toward integration into a larger and more accessible ecosystem.
Final Opportunities and Services That Remain
For those who prefer to own the models permanently, Globe Plants has launched farewell discounts until the closure date. 💰 It is the last chance to acquire specific collections outside of Chaos's subscription model. On the other hand, a key service that will remain active is custom requests. Studios will still be able to commission specific plant species, either exclusively or to be added later to the Chaos Cosmos library.
- Simplified access: The models will be directly integrated into the Chaos Cosmos panel.
- Quality maintenance: The meticulous botanical quality of the models is preserved.
- Custom service: The option to commission unique plants for special projects continues.
An Integrated Future for 3D Assets
This move consolidates Chaos Cosmos as one of the most complete asset libraries for architectural and product visualization. 🏢 The integration of Globe Plants is a major win, adding a top-tier vegetation catalog to its already extensive collection. For the community, it means that Globe Plants' quality will be within reach of more artists, albeit within a closed ecosystem.
It seems that in the digital world, even the most lush gardens end up being absorbed by a larger ecosystem. 🌿 A natural evolution, though some will miss the independent store.
