Desert plants images for landscape and architectural visualization

The Desert Plants Image Collection

The Desert Plants Images Collection consists of 3 CDs filled with professional quality, photorealistic clip art of desert plants. It has been designed with the needs in mind of landscape architects, architects, graphics artists and others who work with architectural and design visualization.

Each digital file is in the universally recognized TIF file format. A meticulously crafted alpha channel mask is included.

Crafting alpha channels (sometimes called clipping paths, clip maps, or opacity maps) like those you will find on this collection is a fine art in itself. We take special pride in our graphics artists ability to create meticulously crafted alpha channels that retain the fine and subtle details of the desired object while cleanly removing the unwanted background. The end result is that incorporating this imagery into your design is often as easy as importing the file through your software, or selecting the object and placing it precisely where you want it.

The majority of this imagery has been derived from the American Southwest (including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California). This makes this CD collection ideal for anyone who wants to capture the look and feel of arid regions in their design visualization. Designers in the Middle East, Australia, Africa, northern Mexico, and arid regions of South America will find much to use in this digital image collection as well. Mutiple representations of some species are also included, to allow for greater variety.

This 3 CD Volume collection will be released throughout 2000 - 2001.
