Neverside

Any Xfrog users here?

searching for some nice ideas of filling landscapes with plants i was gonna check out a special offer on the new xfrogplants libraries (See New Press Release).

i use vue4 and 5 infinite and tried the free Birch Tree and it seems quite be good and i am wondering if anyone can feedback on the new "Version 2" DVD stuff?

I'm sorry for the impression to be a spammer (since nobody answered...) but in fact i never tried prebuilt plant models before (selfmade is the respectable...)... so i was wondering about a socalled Version2!

i never used any Version1 plant model so far! Anyway, i better specify my question:
some of the plants seem to work accurately in any host application, but others do not (i found problems loading a model in vue while it works correctly in c4d). Does not seem to be a problem of the xfrog models (hope so :-) but more related to vue??!! just want to be sure about new software since their offer ends up on 30th April!

Thanx for comments.
Nico

I replied at postforum about C4D and Vue.

It depends. Pre-made models are out there to cut down the time it takes to work in a scene (specially when you are in a work environment), or if you don't have enough knowledge on the subject to make a real-life-looking thing. I can't do those plants, I don't know those plants, so why would I break my head and spend days/weeks doing something that is already there?

What is respectable is the way that the model is used, the environment, the mapping, and how you add your own modifications, the entire 3D scene.
