You all should simply go to Dreampaints site and see what can be done by editing existing species. The idea behind this is that a new saved species - from an edited plant - keeps its attributes but will be modified with SolidGrowth technique slightly so that each plant looks different to the others you have created before. This even works in Ecosystems with 10,000s of plants. All are different. Can Bryce do that as well? If you wnat to see what is possible in an image, go to my last two posts in the gallery here. The Lighthouse and the one before. Fire and water splash are modified dry bushes from the default plants. Just to give you an impression what is possible. You of course can import XFRog, TreePro etc plants and save them as vobs. But they stay what they are - "fixed" plants. BTW, with TreePro - probably the best tree creator out there, especially the first on the market - you can not create any plant from scratch, you always start with an existing one and modify that. So this method is not soooo uncommon. One last thing. Do you really think that, if it is so easy to do, that e-on would not open this option for users? It would bring them a lot of money if that feature would exist. I am sure there is a reason behind why this has not happened. Probably because the technique is too complex.
