HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. However, PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not for professional-quality print graphics, and therefore does not support non-RGB color spaces such as CMYK. PNG supports palette-based images (with palettes of 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA colors), grayscale images (with or without alpha channel), and full-color non-palette-based RGB images (with or without alpha channel). Along with CSS and JavaScript, HTML is a cornerstone technology used by most websites to create visually engaging web pages, user interfaces, and many mobile applications. HyperText Markup Language, commonly referred to as HTML, is the standard markup language used to create web pages. However, PNG itself does not support animation at all. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and is the most used lossless image compression format on the Internet. The best part is that all planes are created with the right size to fit in the texture map proportion.Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. With a script like this, we can create large surfaces of trees and vegetation using different types of texture maps very easily. The planes have an UV map, materials and textures ready to use.
All the setup process required to create the transparent textures in Blender is already done. By the end, we will have a few planes at the 3D View will the texture maps applied to them. Hit this button to import the texture maps. When this is all set, an import button will appear at the bottom of the script interface. At the script, all we have to do is choose the folder and set the image Type, just like the image bellow shows. To use the script I suggest you to create a folder in your computer and place all the textures in this folder. Place it in your Blender scripts folder and the option to access the script will appear on the Image folder of the scripts window.

Before anything, visit this thread on the Blenderartists forums to download the script. The workflow of the script is pretty simple and we will only have to select the PNG texture maps. Wouldn't it? Actually, there is a script for Blender called 2d Cutout Image Import, which can be a great help for this task. If you really want to simulate a large amount of trees for an architectural visualization project, it would be great to have a way to import multiple texture files at once. The process involves the creation of a plane, setup UVs, and add materials, textures and adjustments for the material.
If you have tried to use those maps, you may have realized that it will take a long time and work to actually import several maps to Blender.

Last week I have suggested a great resource for texture maps of plants and shrubs, along with a small tutorial on how to turn the maps into transparent PNG files ready to use in Blender 3D.
