I recommend the free TPF Exporter to export as OBJ or FBX (rigging intact) with the free http://www.plantfactory-tech.com/exporter.php

YOU CAN...Especially if your favorite render app like Poser or such supports .OBJ or DS which supports .FBX (rigged) standard formats, then yes this free drink is for you,... and also the neat plants at the Exchange.  What you need to do is use the FREE standalone PLANT FACTORY EXPORTER utility to convert the .TPF to .OBJ or .FBX .  You can download it here http://www.plantfactory-tech.com/exporter.php

From there you can even use the Free Autodesk FBX converter to get a rigged DAE or convert to .x for unity and other game engines.

The rigged cocktail includes some "breeze" animation so unless you desire some sway, you may want to clear the keyframes.  The preset  TPFs allow you to export the various Poses: Umbrella open/close etc as described above.

[EDIT] Saw red note...Crap - I thought you could use the exporter.  Did you try registering that?  I will follow up w/ thier support.   It was my understanding that I could distribute openly via the exchange & exporter.

 

 

OK I tested the process on a system that does not have Vue.  It downloads fine, but you need to  FIRST download & install the Plant Factort Exporter which is a LITE VERSION OF Plant Factory that allows you to download the exchange items and export to FBX and OBJ.  The registration of the Exporter is all you need to access any of the Exchange items.

Seems convoluted but its kind neat how the Exporter is implemented, actually.

Thanks for staying on top of aproctor's concerns dreamcutter.
