DETAIL STUDY

SEASONAL RESPONSE

One organ, a year of readings.

Move one organ from new growth to decline, with colour, transmission, damage, and form changing together.

Seasonal state 03

Regional transition

Direct change where the organ would carry it.

Move colour and surface response through edges, tips, veins, or painted regions instead of applying one global tint.

Inside VirdraLeafOne source / four readings

SOURCE Editable contour

STATE Directed transition

DELIVERY Ready to export

VIRDRALEAF / TOOLSET

Build the organism, then build the asset.

Shape the organ, grow its structure, build the material, introduce change, and choose how it leaves the application.

THREE WORKSPACES / ONE SOURCE

Create. Assemble. Capture.

Create is the main workspace. Assemble and Capture remain experimental and are disabled by default.

Create

Author one organ and keep the source open.

Assemble

Place linked organs into a larger plant structure.

Capture

Define repeatable views for maps, cards, and atlas tiles.

Enable Assemble and Capture from Edit > Preferences > Experimental features.

EXPLORE THE SYSTEM

Five chapters. One continuous VirdraLeaf workflow.

Open any chapter to explore the complete feature story without leaving this page.

01

FEATURE CHAPTER / SHAPE & SILHOUETTE

Choose the starting habit. Shape the specimen.

Begin with the organ family, then correct the contour without giving up the editable source.

LEARN MORE ↓

02

FEATURE CHAPTER / VENATION

Build the vein system. Edit the paths that matter.

Generate the hierarchy, then correct individual paths without discarding the surrounding network.

LEARN MORE ↓

03

FEATURE CHAPTER / MATERIALS & SURFACE

Build the material around the anatomy.

Author pigment, transmission, thickness, roughness, and relief as related parts of the same material.

LEARN MORE ↓

04

FEATURE CHAPTER / DAMAGE & SEASONS

Direct damage and seasonal change.

Author wear, disease, and life-stage changes without losing the clean organ underneath.

LEARN MORE ↓

05

FEATURE CHAPTER / 3D & EXPORT

Keep it flat. Add form when the shot needs it.

Use cards for distance, shaped geometry for closer work, and export only what the target requires.
