Well, the feeling I'm getting is that nobody knows how to export from this version of XFrog to anything we can use directly in Vue. Maybe there's some trick I'm completely missing here, but I don't think so. Greenworks have obviously implemented a more normal export option in the latest version (by popular demand maybe?), but I don't think I want to pay 99 to upgrade to it. I shall have to just hang on to this one until I can afford to upgrade to C4D 7 or 8! I can't help feeling this is a very strange choice for a freebie to give away on a cover disk though. Surely the whole point is to increase usage of the current version by giving away a usable free older version so that people can put their XFrog models into whatever program they normally use; restricting export to only four high-end apps rather defeats the object, and I can't see it endearing them to people in the US who are forking out the equivalent of 20 quid a copy for the mag! And let's face it: people who already have the latest versions of Maya etc. are hardly going to be strapped for cash; they're the sort of people who will already have XFrog if they want it. Oh well, you live and learn, eh? Mike
