GrowFX for 3dsMax2020 64-bit. Get the software safely and easily.

GrowFX for 3ds Max 2020 (64-bit) is a professional procedural modeling plugin for creating trees, plants, vines, and other natural growth directly inside Autodesk 3ds Max. It provides a fully parametric workflow, letting you design, iterate, and animate complex vegetation with non-destructive controls. Artists can simulate natural behaviors—such as branching, tropism, pruning, and wind—and render results with popular engines used in archviz, VFX, and game cinematics.

Key features

Procedural path-based system to build trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, and roots with precise control over form and variation
Natural-growth modifiers including branching patterns, direction and noise, gravity/tropism, pruning, and wind/breeze animation
Growth and wind animation with caching options for stable playback and export to common pipelines
Efficient instancing and mesh optimization tools for heavy scenes; viewport display controls and optional LOD workflows
Material and UV controls for bark and foliage; supports geometric leaves or billboards; vertex color for effects like seasonal changes
Flexible distribution along surfaces, splines, and custom objects for hedges, ivy, and ground cover
Broad renderer compatibility via standard geometry and materials, including Arnold (bundled with 3ds Max 2020), V-Ray, Corona, Octane, and others
