Anybody (tried) or is using the E-ON The Plant Factory stand alone package which can export as .OBJ, .3DS, .C4D, .LWO (and render billboards) in Poser? Poser Forum search over the last 500 days shows no chatter. Granted the product looks very recent. If you have, I am curious if you have tried the grass...the kind you mow, not the kind you smoke! :ohmy:

To add some actual information: I use the Studio edition of Plant Factory, mostly to make plants for use in Vue. I use Poser for posing, so what you want is going in the opposite direction of what I usually do (i.e. pose in Poser or DS and then export to Vue or Octane for rendering). But I have tried it. TPF is a procedural modeler and can make models at any detail level. No matter if you want 1000 or 1 million polys. When used with Vue or integrated software (maya, max) you can adjust the detail level on the fly and generate variations of your plant with the click of a button or swish of a slider. You can also export static models as .obj or .lwo among others (fbx). The former two can be imported to Poser and the geometry comes in nicely. Most textures in TPF are generated with procedurals and will of course not translate. If you prepare your model with image based textures, you can use those in Poser. I had some issues with trans maps that got lsot and did not apply correctly but that can most likely be solved if one wants to put the effort in. I personally don't think it is worth the effort because one looses everything that makes TPF so great. But it can be done.
