How to use seasonal plants?

The Seasonal Vegetation function allows plant creators to automatically display different leaf colors and foliage states in response to seasonal changes, more realistically simulating the effects of the natural environment throughout the year. Designers do not need to manually replace plant models for different seasons; they only need to adjust the date parameter to quickly preview the vegetation performance of spring, summer, autumn, and winter in the same scene.

Applicable Scenarios

• Landscape and planning designs that need to showcase seasonal changes, architectural plan presentations comparing the atmospheres of different seasons, and commercial visualization projects emphasizing the authenticity of the natural environment

Global Seasonal Vegetation Settings

Added a new "Seasonal Vegetation" setting item in Environment → Weather, used for global control of all plant creatives in the scene that support seasonal vegetation changes:

• After enabling, you can set the number of days (value range: 1 - 365), which is used to define the date position within a year

• The system will automatically calculate the seasonal state of plants based on the current date

• Days corresponding to seasons: 1~135 Spring / 136~213 Summer / 214~270 Autumn / 271~365 Winter

Per-Model Seasonal Settings

After selecting a single plant that supports seasonal changes, you can independently set the following in the property panel of the right sidebar:

• State: Determine the current seasonal effect of the plant based on the number of days passed

• Color (Spring Color, Summer Color, Autumn Color, Winter Color): Adjust the color performance of plants in each season separately

• Following Global Settings: When checked, the number of days and seasonal effects of this plant will be based on the global seasonal days set in Environment → Weather

Creatives Library Filtering

• A new filter option, "Seasonal," has been added to the online creative library, allowing users to quickly filter out all plant creatives that support seasonal changes

Precautions

• Seasonal settings are automatically linked for plants of the same type within the same scatter batch.

• Batch editing and multi-selection of seasonal parameters are not currently supported.
