Quote - Nah, don't want this to become a debate either, Lars, I don't know Onyxtree anyway. I just wanted to point that Xfrog libraries are more for those who don't have he software.

And that was a very good point - I learned it too :)

And my focus was exactly to give people a chance to at least consider Onyxtree, since I really love it. Like you, most people around here don't know too much about it (no free trials from Onyx Computing, big mistake!) and those who have it frequently end up making models with the default low-poly foliage, missing the point that it's relatively easy to use bitmapped foliage (like XFrog etc. - Onyxtree comes with an extensive bitmap broadleaf collection). I know this, since several members have asked me "how to...". So I tell them. You have huge control in the Onyxtree  "plates" dialogue.
This is why I'm as interested in the textures that come with the downlads at Autodesk. It's an extra bonus, all the models are wonderful themselves. The Cottonplant and the Dutch Iris and the Coulter Pine (with pinecones!) and... you name it :)
