Overview

The following chart indicates how different 3d software work together with Xfrog and XfrogTune. For several applications, free Plugins are available to read Xfrog files directly. Besides the Plugin solution Xfrog exports all major 3D file formats ( as you can see below ). A dot indicates that Xfrog or XfrogTune or XfrogPlants works for that application as mentioned. For example, for 3ds max, Xfrog exports OBJ, 3DS, and a free Plugin that works inside 3ds max. XfrogTune exports OBJ, and XfrogPlants are loaded with the free Plugin.

To use XfrogPlants with applications that we do not support with Plugins, (for example, Bryce), you simply need to use Xfrog or XfrogTune to export to the file format you need. Export using XfrogTune works for trees, (flowers and cacti are not supported by XfrogTune) As you can see from the chart, for Bryce we recommend export as OBJ or 3DS from Xfrog or OBJ from XfrogTune. All our exports, except DXF, contain texture u,v coordinates and matching shader information, so that textures are seamlessly exported with the models. All Plugins support Xfrog models and animations, and XfrogPlants Libaries.
