Garden Plant Library
I noticed that there have been quite a few questions in the forums about importing garden plants into Sweet Home 3D. I can see why, as this program seems fairly easy to manipulate walls and furniture, and plants are essentially furniture inside a structure called a garden.

Has anyone tried to create a native SH3D 'furniture-like' library that contains various garden plant models, instead of furniture models?

If not, if there is a guide on how to create furniture models that someone can point me to, I will attempt to create a garden plant library. Also from my reading of forum posts, it seems that plants are a resource hog due to the number of individual leaves, and their textures.

What compromises should be made to create an acceptable low to medium resource usage plant?

I am thinking of not necessarily accurate representations of common garden plants like: onions, tomatoes (determinate and non-determinate), beans (bush and pole), cabbage, carrots, corn, etc. I am more interested representing the height and width of the plants, rather than exact leaf shapes and other similar characteristics of the plant.

Any thoughts?
