Yes, you're quite right - but it's not very clear from their web site that this is the case. You have to look at each set of plants individually to see whether they are available in vob format (I didn't look at every CD but the ones I did look at all were). That's quite an important selling point, they should make it a little clearer.
It seems that each CD has 20 plants with three size variations of each, but for more variation you would need the Xfrog software.

"xfrog does have some free plants that can be imported into vue. http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/ST2/cg/downloads/publicplants/" Unfortunally there's this statement with those plants: The materials may only be used for non-commercial purposes. So much for free :-(

When you buy a plant set you can indicate your format of preference (apart from Xfrogs native format), and nowadays the dropdown list does include vob. But I agree, Moonflower, that $149,- is not exactly cheap: and as long as you don't own XFrog, you will get identical specimens every time. On the other hand, these are really great looking plants - much, much better than those that Vue generates!

Hi i try to add some comments. I am the product manager of Xfrog and XfrogPlants. Therefor i spew market speak...sorry.... All 21 Libraries can be ordered as VUE 4 format + XFR format in our online shop at xfrog.com -> shop, there is a format pulldown menu, we supply 9 different formats nowadays. the most recent are VUE, Bryce, Maya, and .scn(XSI) All libraries have 20 species x 3 ages, including the VOB, formats, therefor contain 60 models per CD, sometimes more. 149 / 60, is less than $ 3.00 per model., or $ 7.00 per Species. We also include 60 Rendered Billboards(alpha planes) , and 60 Perspective Renders. these 120 files all have either alpha or object buffer, so u can drag and drop them over backgrounds seamlessly, or map them onto a single polygon, to make a forest. XfrogPlants are in some recent films - Polar Express, the Incredibles, Renegade / Blueberry, and the trailer for the upcoming War of the Worlds. (Spielberg/Cruise) We hope you will try them out in your favorite format. And i hope i was able to answer a few questions. And please dont give up on us. a few other notes- our PDFs are in 6 languages, and include all renders of the models and a history and important, interesting facts about each plant. if you order Xfrog 3.5 Lite, or Full, you get with that order, a Basic Library of 60 Plants. That can be selected in one of Vue, 3ds, Bryce, and Poser, plus the XFRs. So for $ 199 you get a pretty new idea for modeling and a bunch of plants to use and study and edit however you wish. anyhow, i will stop the corpspeak - please give it a 30 day test drive if you wish from our website. best regards stewart mcsherry"if you order Xfrog 3.5 Lite, or Full, you get with that order, a Basic Library of 60 Plants.

Shouldn't that be $299? Got another question too. I do remember using XFrog in the past, may have been XFrog 3.0 light. It came with a magazine on the cover disk (Digit). This one didn't allow to export to Vue at all, so it was pretty much useless. Will Xfrog 3.5 light allow the user to export their trees/plant creations for use in Vue?

Thanks Orio. I'm not an animator so it would be fine for me. To bad their website states $299 and not $199 as Stewart quoted.....
